I have a similar problem I have installed ubuntu 8.04 from the live cd and it worked nicely for about a week, but now I get error 17, randomly it seems, when i reboot. After a few tries I can usually boot from harddisc with the help of the boot menu in the live cd.
I do not have a windows installation, but I do have an extra harddisc which still contains the file system from my old windows installation. I am quite new to linux and not yet completely familiar with all the technical stuff. So I have no suggestions for what is wrong or how to fix it. I just wanted to let you know that the bug also seems to exist on ubuntu 8.04. -- Installation to second disk confuses drive numbering https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/45989 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
