Kudos to the original reporter and inventor of the ingenious solution. I was bit by this bug on a regular laptop and dumbfounded as my Lucid system's "blkid" saw the file system, while the Karmic system didn't.
It would be a very good idea indeed to backport this patch to karmic's util-linux, as it takes some determination to find the source of the weird behavior caused by it (in my case just a blank screen on Karmic's bootup). -- mount ext fileystem fails, booting fails, blkid produces no output https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518582 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
