    Debian RT kernel not booting

    After installing the RT kernel, and updating my boot loader, I get this message.

    Code:
    ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/... does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
    It doesn't make a difference whether I pass the 'root=/dev/', or 'root=UUID=', options to the kernel.

    I've also noticed a message while the system was attempting to boot up.

    Code:
    host side 80-wire cable detection failed, limiting max speed to UDMA33
    This is all strange to me as I was running the Debian 2.6.32-5-686 kernel, without any problems.
