Public bug reported:
This bug occurs when booting either (1) using the desktop CD (Ubuntu10.04), or (2) when booting off a USB stick previously created on another machine using the Startup Disk Creator program (usb-creator) (also Ubuntu10.04). When booting from either of these sources, the machine actually mounts /dev/sdb4 (as /cdrom) and I believe it actually boots from that partition. When I delete the partition /dev/sdb4, and then reboot from the CD or USB stick, then the machine seems to boot from the CD or the USB stick respectively. The partition /dev/sdb4 contains the results of yet another failed attempt to install Ubuntu 10.04, as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- when booting, wrong filesystem mounted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/601722 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
