This maybe an Ubuntu issue. I've been lurking on the #ubuntu-kernel irc
channel, and last week they did a kernel update, that appears to have
been premature.

The discussion was on 5/29, and appears to be related to how sata and
pata drives are handled, and the use of uuid vs hdx designations. Along
with sdx vs hdx drive designations.

Plus, TI MMC cards are effected, a long with mice using SiS chipsets.

I can forward a transcript (partial?) if anybody wants a look at it.

Problems on the #ubuntu channel seem to be calming down, so maybe it has
been patched already?

Personally, I wasn't effected, as I'm running Dapper LTS with an SMP kernel.
