(New kernel is still compiling...) I just did a test with a fully-patched, newly spun-up Ubuntu Server 14.04 AWS instance, and the behavior seems to be present with kernel 3.13.0-107. I can't verify all of the symptoms described by the reporter, because I don't have physical access; but I get "connection refused" when trying to SSH into it, after making an intentionally-bad edit to /etc/fstab.
For completeness, this is the bad edit I made: /home/ubuntu/test.img /mnt ext4 defaults 0 0 The file referenced was created with: dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/ubuntu/test.img bs=1M count=20 When attempting to mount this file from the command-line, it produces a "wrong filesystem type" error, as expected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1463120 Title: Failure to boot if fstab disk mounts fail To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1463120/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
