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.
