ALERT /dev/disk/by-uuid/d825128a-fcf9-42f1-8a4e-ac3559968b09 does not exist dropping to a shell!

I just had a very similar error with SUSE 11, I solved it by editing my kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.conf and changing /dev/disk/by-uuid/d825128a-fcf9-42f1-8a4e-ac3559968b09 to /dev/sda11 which is my SUSE /boot partition.
You may need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst instead of grub.conf and you need to know what the actual /dev/sdaX partition is before you do this.

Let us know if this helps any or if you just want to discuss it more.

When you get to the screen that says

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1ubuntu7) built in-shell (ash)
Enter help for a list of built-in commands

Can you issue these commands:

sudo fdisk -l

sudo cat /boot/grub/menu.lst

Paste the info back here if you can.

OK! get back to the command line as before and try these commands.

sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

This will open the file in an editor
Change this
