Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mountall

This is similar but not identical to #571444.

I have the following entry in /etc/fstab: -

/dev/sdb2               /home/hayd/lenovo               hfsplus
rw,auto,exec,user

relating to an external USB drive.

During boot-up of the previous 2.6.32-23-generic-pae kernel, I am
prompted with the following message: -

The disk drive for /home/hayd/lenovo is not ready yet or not present
Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

which is precisely as one would expect.

However, following a recent upgrade to 2.6.32-24-generic-pae, this
message is no longer displayed; instead, I am presented with a
completely blank screen.

Having used the GRUB2 menu ( via the [Shift] key ) to boot back to the
-23 kernel, I realised (a) what the problem is and (b) how to overcome
it - by pressing the [S] key to skip the auto-mount.

Therefore, I'm now able to boot -24 and get past the exception, by
hitting [S], but the message should be displayed in clear text.

It's my view that this is a bug introduced by the kernel update.

Lenovo Thinkpad W500 ( 4061-BL5 )
