I ran into this issue Yesterday, but was able to solve it.
I had let my Ubuntu system run over the weekend. When I got back to
work Monday there were some odd behaviours. Wine no longer had access
to my network device, and I lost Sudo access (as noted above). I
rebooted and got the errors liste
Okay, I thought I would update this with everything I've tried. Not sure
if this will help anyone, but what didn't work for me may work for them.
If the filesystem mounts as -ro then I can usually get it to mount rw using:
> sudo mount -o remount,rw /
And if that works then I can edit the /etc/fs
Same thing happened to me. Installed 9.10 just before Christmas (my
first linux distro so I'm not so clued up on anything), today I get this
error while trying to find a fix for a black screen that keeps coming up
when I boot.
I get the mount failed error, but when I try and mount it manually I ge
I seem to have the same problem - although it did not happen when I upgraded.
I have been running 9.1 for about a month, with no problems.
Yesterday, I was suddently removed from sudoers for no reason ( I am the sole
user!) - and after that, I could not boot for the same reasons as above; mount

I am having dual boot HP DV4. "fsck" worked for me.

Ugh.. I managed to use the Vim editor to look at the fstab file. But this has
no lines starting with /dev/pts at all !
In stead I have
Proc /proc/ proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/hdb1
UUID=23770a95-5eed-4ccd-8530-2255f6e8699 / etx3 nouser,
defaults,errors=remount=ro, atime, auto, rw, dev, exec, suid 0
Well, we seem to be getting somewhere...Thanks Barph633.except gedit
doesnt work on mine, so I cant edit this fstab file. Is there some
other editor I should/could use. I feel like a blind man here but I
didnt expect to have to learn Linux just to upgrade.
Luckily this is just a hobby for me
Haleluja!
Thanks Barph633... " edit /etc/fstab and comment out the line that
starts with devpts."
Did that and PC is back from La-La Land. I am a very happy person right
now!
The line in my fstab file looks like this: # devpts /dev/pts devpts
(rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)

Morning all!
Still no luck and almost no sleep.
kernel 2.6.28-16-generic is the only kernel that manage to mount the root
filesystem, all other kernels end with the "Mount of root filesystem failed"
message.
My problems are far from over as it seems that in this kernel there is serious

Sorry to butt in. I have just had a very short power cut (less than a
second) and my UPS decided not to catch the glitch.
Anyway, the machine shut down and I have ended up with the same problem
as above.
When I start up Ubuntu it goes through a seemingly never ending file
check and then stops at
I had this same problem, and after doing some research I was able to fix
it on my system.
After the error message I would be at a command prompt in a maintenance mode.
Before I could write to fstab I had to run this command:
mount -o remount,rw /
After that, edit /etc/fstab and comment out the
Hi,
Can I join in as I have almost the same prob, except I am using Kubuntu.
But I am not getting much luck in the Kubuntu forum...
Also in my case I just didn't get as far as the white logo (or the equivalent
in Kubuntu) It just sits there saying cannot mount rootfilesystem.
I tried the fsck c
Some more info:
"kernel 2.6.31-14-generic" and "kernel 2.6.31-14-generic (recovery
mode)" both result in the "Mount of root filesystem failed" error.
"kernel 2.6.28-16-generic" boot fine, well sort-of, it waited some time
for the swap drive to mount and at some time an application error
occurred,
Not dual-booting.
/dev/sda is the disk Linux is loaded on. Partitions look like this:
PartitionFilesystemMount point size
/dev/sda1 ext3/media/disk 110GB
/dev/sda2 extended1.4GB
/dev/sda5 Linux-swap
Are you sure the sda1 is your linux filesystem? Are you dual-booting?
