Thanks for your attention to this bug. It's been a while, so I don't have any details to give you about the boot-up at that time, but I do recall that it did boot properly. The main problem (as far as I've figured it out) is that my Promise Ultra133TX2 PCI ATA133 card and my nVidia CK804 rev. f3 SATA controller keep getting their attached hard drives mixed-up. Here's what I mean:

In the blkid information in my April 4th, 2007 post, the aforementioned drives are as follows: /dev/sdc1: LABEL="PERSONAL" UUID="88813472-f156-4ee6-b8e9-41540ff07486" TYPE="ext2" /dev/sdb1: TYPE="ntfs" /dev/sda1: LABEL="PERSONAL" UUID="88813472-f156-4ee6-b8e9-41540ff07486" TYPE="ext2" /dev/sdb5: LABEL="BACKUP" UUID="438E-1221" TYPE="vfat" To my recollection, I have not changed any drive configurations since then, although I have switched to a 64-bit version of Ubuntu 7.04 on /dev/hdc1 (via a reinstall). My hardware (cables, jumpers, etc.) has not changed at all. You may also note that the UUIDs of my various partitions (except for hdc) have not changed, as I have not since reformatted or moved them. As for the contradictory mount points, I have configured them to how they (as far as I can tell) should be, which is how they show up in my fully-updated Gentoo installation (as of a week or so ago), which I installed about 1.5 years ago. If I am not mistaken, sda should be my first SCSI/SATA device, which is on my onboard nVidia SATA controller. sdb and sdc should be my first and second drives on my PCI IDE (PATA) card, respectively. Thanks again, and let me know if you need any more information. -- Fiesty: updates on 3-29-07 royally messed up fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98651 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
