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
