Public bug reported:
I have already indicated that when enabling the ATI proprietory driver,
I cannot boot into Ubuntu Karmic. The bug number is 445191. I tried
again today with the release candidate, and it seems that enabling this
driver actually corrupts fstab. I tried chrooting into the system with a
live cd and replacing the corrupted fstab with the original that I had
saved, but the result is the same. Here is what is in the corrupted
fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=16c98f5d-da47-41ec-b75b-b4dd831ce986 / ext4
errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=8345b988-af02-4936-b104-3ac362302c54 none swap sw
0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0

Here is the fstab file after enabling the ati driver :
aufs / aufs rw 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/sda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
