I'm not sure if I have the same issue or not but figured this would be the best place to post.
I have a BioStar TForce 550 motherboard with the N550 chipset from NVIDIA. I've been using the 64bit version of Hardy Heron without any issues but recently decided to start testing Intrepid Ibex. My hangup has been I am unable to boot successfully with any of the 2.6.27 kernels. Every time I try to boot with a 2.6.27 kernel it has trouble reading my /home partition. (This has held true even with the latest 2.6.27-6 kernel). The disk is a 400gb disk with a 20gb partition for the root file system and the balance for my /home partition. Both partitions are formated with EXT3. For whatever reason, on boot with the 2.6.27 kernel there is no trouble reading the root partition (or at least appears not to have any trouble) but when it comes to mounting my /home partition I start getting "ext3_get_inode_loc" and "unable to read inode block" errors. The end result, I have no /home partition. If I fall back and reboot using the 2.6.24-19 generic kernel the system boots up but a check is forced on the /home partition where it takes about 20 minutes to scan and presumably repair the partition. Once the check is complete the system continues booting without issue. Note, I do not have any problems at all if I just stick to the 2.6.24 kernel each time I boot, everything mounts cleanly. Of note, my 400gb drive is an IDE drive that I'm using a SATA to IDE adapter so I can plug into the SATA port on my MB. I will be happy to provide further details if you tell me what you need. -- Hard disk randomly "halts" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229968 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
