Public bug reported:
Hi all
I've currently installed Ubuntu 9.10 from the current live CD onto my external
Hitachi 1TB External Harddrive.
It appeared to run smoothly until recently when it keeps coming up with a
"crash error report" explaining that there has been a fault in the kernel and
that i'd have to reboot. After receiving said message, the computer would
gradually slow down until it eventually crashed.
I have made a similar process like this work before i.e. installing
Ubuntu 8.10 onto an 8gb pendrive and being able to boot and run from it
successfully. This time it seems that with a newer version of Ubuntu and
of the GRUB bootloader it doesn't want to run in the same way.
One thing that I noticed in GRUB when booting via a command line is that
it claims there are errors when trying to mount the partition that
Ubuntu is on, but this still loads Ubuntu anyway until the kernel
message appears after 10 or so minuets.
I'm hoping that a patch of some sort can be used so that I can run a full copy
of Ubuntu via my external hard drive.
The connection between the harddrive and the pc is via USB 2.0 - The computer
is a Acer Aspire 5532 laptop with AMD Athlon TK-42 processor/3GB RAM/256mb
Graphics (ATI Radeon) - GRUB was installed via the Ubuntu installation and has
not been changed - No updates have been possible so there are no changes to the
actual copies of Ubuntu and GRUB
Many thanks and help is appreciated
