I am also experiencing this bug, and it is very frustrating, as it has
happened two times since I've upgraded to Kubuntu Karmic (never had a
problem in Jaunty). The only way I've been able to get my second hard
drive to mount again is to comment out its line in /etc/fstab, reboot,
scan the drive with gparted, uncomment the drive's line in /etc/fstab,
reboot and then it will finally mount again. I'm sure I could have used
command-line tools as well, but I don't know them yet.
Anyway, here is my /etc/fstab file:
-------------------------------------------
# /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/sda6 during installation
UUID=9ac71eae-51f5-4e40-ab0c-302464803a53 / ext4
noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /home was on /dev/sda8 during installation

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/scd2 /media/cdrom2 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
-------------------------------------------
My second hard drive is also SATA, like the original poster's system. The
/etc/fstab line for my secondary hard drive is right under "# /dev/sdb1".
Here is my blkid output with everything working:
-------------------------------------------
$ sudo /sbin/blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="01C7E03443489560" LABEL="WinSystem" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda5: LABEL="Personal" UUID="5ea7d8ed-8125-4a68-bae9-872e4924a8b0"
TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sda6: UUID="9ac71eae-51f5-4e40-ab0c-302464803a53" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda7: UUID="2978ab17-1b37-4550-8d80-e10ee72f8d8f" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sda8: UUID="cbbfc454-ce59-4280-8cc0-cec96e7cdd18" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="Storage" UUID="aaf83cd3-50ae-4245-91bd-2dd474baecc8"
TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sdc1: LABEL="SCC_FLASH" UUID="75E5-2D96" TYPE="vfat"
-------------------------------------------
I will run blkid again the next time the check fails and report it here.
