Hi, I have since reinstalled Jaunty, so I can't look into this again
straight away. What I did was (from memory): * Install 9.10 * After
installation was complete, I logged into the new installation.
Everything was fine. * I installed the updates. Restarted. No problems
so far. * I clicked on the restricted hardware icon and restarted. * On
rebooting, there was a message reporting that one of the mediums in
fstab couldn't be mounted. Unfortunately, the message was quite long and
I didn't have time to write it down. I tried to take a photo, but the
message is illegible in the photo. * Instead of arriving at the login
screen, the monitor went black and the caps lock light started flashing.
* I then tried rebooting the computer into recovery mode. When in
recovery mode, I had a message indicating that the operating system
couldn't be mounted. * I rebooted the computer into a live session on
the live cd. * I chrooted to the installed system and opened the fstab
file with nano. It was as I reported. I can't guarantee that I didn't
make a mistake - but I presume that when I've chrooted to the installed
system, the path /etc/fstab is that of the installed system and not the
live cd. If it helps you to track this bug, I am prepared to repeat the
attempt this weekend. Is there anything particular I should look out for
or do to help the bug tracking process? Cheers James Pursey
