Robert, I went through your suggestions - and /etc/blkid.tab was definitely wrong. I've since run the blkid command to rebuild this file since it is described as a "cache file". However, references to /dev/mapper (which was removed) would indicate that it isn't actually rebuilt. I think porttions of evms (libraries anyway) still lurk on my system - I going to remove them when I move up to Gutsy.
So I ran (heart in mouth):- sudo blkid -c /dev/null -w /etc/blkid.tab This looked OK (at least there were no /dev/mapper entries... I did a fsck reboot to see what happened - OK. I have done several reboots (recovery/normal) in every case - it now works!!!!! Looking at the blkid.tab, it's not quite right :- It shows me as having a sdb8 reiserfs partion - I don't have any such partition It also shows sda3 (the extended partition) as being reiserfs. However, because it works, I shall let sleeping dogs lie... For your entertainment I've attached blkid.tab (the current one) and blkid.tab.old (the cause of the trouble). Thankyou for all your help - those nasty error messages are all gone now. I've also got some great bash scripts to decode in the future.
