RainCT: ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2. The repair tool that is used is called e2fsck and "just" sees ext3 partitions as ext2 ones with a little bit extra (a journal).
You are another person influenced by the disabling of ata_piix on ICH4 boards as described in Bug #116996 . Under 2.6.20-15 work out what the UUIDs are for partitions /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 using something like: sudo vol_id -u /dev/sdb1 . Back up your /etc/fstab file. Try and do sudo umount /backup which should unmount /backup assuming nothing is using it. Change /etc/fstab to use a uuid for /backup the use sudo mount /backup to see if the UUID works. /home is trickier since it will already be in use.so you must take extra care that the UUID is correct. Be careful... Assuming all your hard disk partitions are referenced using UUIDs you should be able to at least boot 2.6.20-16 (do report back)... -- Can't start with kernel-2.6.20-16-generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117587 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
