To the last comment, yeah downloading a livecd should allow you to chroot to your drive and fix the kernel issues by downgrading the kernel version.
If you want to be mad at someone ultimately you can direct it towards Linus Torvalds / Allen Cox. I stumbled upon a thread or two with them discussing these sorts of issues. I ~guess~ they aren't the ones that applied whatever this f-ed up patch is and deployed it to us as a ~minor~ kernel update but oh well.......I hope they fix it soon. -- pata driver in libata not mounting /home https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/82314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
