2007-02-19 Thread Paul Sladen
Reefa's partitioning scheme is:

  {WinXP, Ubuntu root, 128GB big NTFS, Ubuntu swap}

Assuming that this is a case of grub getting the wrong 'root=', then
following the chain back we get:

20:05 sladen cjwatson: which part of ubiquity selects the partitions to be 
passed to grub post-install?
20:06 sladen  (causes 'root=' to be filled out in menu.lst)
20:07 cjwatson sladen: that's done by update-grub in the grub package
20:07 cjwatson sladen: ... which fishes it out of /etc/fstab for itself

Taking a while to diagnose as grub was wipe with 'fixmbr' as the grub
setup had also broken booting MS Windows (which is most likely
*extremely* related...).

'/dev/hdb' is a Zip drive, '/dev/hdc' is the optical.

Seems like the kernel isn't reading the partition table, even if 'fdisk'
is managing to.

This is because the extended partition table (/dev/hda5) begins further
in the disk and that section hasn't been copied.

Reefa: could you attach the output from:

  dd if=/dev/hda bs=2550 count=10 seek=8225280 | gzip 
reefa-2550-8225280.img.gz

aswell please.  In 'gparted', 'hda1' and 'hda4' would be on the same
level as they are primary partitions;  'hda5' and above will probably be
indented as they are secondary partitions.
