after a new install of edgy, same problem: special device /dev/hdb does not exist. Under dapper I think the drive was listed as hdb
what I found out is if I boot with acpi=off then I have the cdrom working but no wifi card recognized. With acpi, then I have wifi card recognized but no cdrom. Thought it could have been from the live install so I installed via netboot (trying to install directly from cd is a no no as it's telling me files are corrupted while nothing is wrong - mtest ok, cd check ok, md5sum ok) So looking at this install problem it seems that the cdrom starts not being recognized correctly during the install. Please tell me what logs you want and I will provide you with logs generated with acpi=off and on for you to hopefully find the difference. -- mount: special device /dev/hda does not exist https://launchpad.net/bugs/67670 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
