Public bug reported:
Yesterday I helped a friend of mine (a newbie to whom i showed ubuntu)
upgrading from gutsy to hardy. The update process run just fine, but when i
rebooted problems started to happen: in a first time, the system opened a
maintenance shell because it cannot perform an fsck on another partition
(/dev/hda5, ext3), telling "press ctrl+d to continue normal boot". I pressed
ctrl+d, and xorg+gdm was correctly loaded, but when we logged in a strange
dialog box appeared saying that no /home partition was found, and he could only
use the /root directory as temporary home. Luckyly the upgrade process had left
both the new hardy kernel (2.6.24.etc) and the old gutsy one (2.6.22.etc.):
well, with the gutsy kernel all was perfect, all booted just fine and the whole
system was smooth as always.
Here is a short summary of the disk configuration:
swap partition -> /dev/hdb1
root partition -> /dev/hdb2 reiserfs
home partition -> /dev/hdb5 reiserfs
I thought I had made something wrong, but it seemed very strange that
with the old kernel all was just fine... maybe someone forgot the
reiserfs support in the new kernel comilation? :-)
