I'm running Feisty on a Dell Latitude D505 and everything has been
working great until I updated the kernel through update manager this
morning.

I've moved /home to it's own partition some time ago using
[URL="http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-
partition/"]these instructions[/URL], and it's been working fine until
the kernel upgrade today. Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognise that /home is
mounted to another partition, even though the entry is still in
/etc/fstab .

My /etc/fstab is below:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda6 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2
# /dev/hda3
UUID=f74ca020-c668-4657-a71c-860a2b29a5c7 /               ext3    
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /dev/hda5
UUID=7e54cd1f-0dd3-42ad-88df-34f36859f389 none            swap    sw            
  0       0
/dev/cdrom        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/sda1    /media/windows ntfs  nls=utf8,umask=0222 0    0
/tmp/app/1/image /tmp/app/1 cramfs,iso9660 user,noauto,ro,loop,exec 0 0
/tmp/app/2/image /tmp/app/2 cramfs,iso9660 user,noauto,ro,loop,exec 0 0
/tmp/app/3/image /tmp/app/3 cramfs,iso9660 user,noauto,ro,loop,exec 0 0
/tmp/app/4/image /tmp/app/4 cramfs,iso9660 user,noauto,ro,loop,exec 0 0
/tmp/app/5/image /tmp/app/5 cramfs,iso9660 user,noauto,ro,loop,exec 0 0
/tmp/app/6/image /tmp/app/6 cramfs,iso9660 user,noauto,ro,loop,exec 0 0
/tmp/app/7/image /tmp/app/7 cramfs,iso9660 user,noauto,ro,loop,exec 0 0

The new /home partition is definitely /dev/sda6 and the filesystem is
also definitely ext3, so that looks fine to me. Any idea where I am
going wrong?

Also, I noticed there are a few other files in /etc such as fstab.edgy,
fstab~ and a few others which I'm assuming are past versions, is it
possible that Ubuntu is reading one of these files?
