Getting to the point of testing this on the same flaky hardware was a long story (the laptop is very picky about its power supply, and the original brick had to be shipped much later than the main unit), but I finally did so with a fresh install of Oneiric.
This bug is licked. That final sync() makes all the difference. The laptop still powers off abruptly when Linux attempts to reboot after the fsck, but now, the changes made by the fsck actually stick. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531740 Title: Endless fsck/poweroff cycle if mountall-reboot.conf doesn't work correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/531740/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
