I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.20-14.* and can confirm that this was a
REGRESSION over 2.6.20-13:
On 2.6.20-13, I do get the fsck failure at boot, but continuing the boot
without fsck'ing works: one of my 2 IDE disks gets automounted (it
contains my /home, so fairly essential), the other is shown in the side
panel of the GNOME file manager as "297 Gb Hard drive" and I can mount
it to /media/disk by doubleclicking on it and entering my password. This
is - needless to say - a hassle but acceptable: the disk is working but
is not mounted to where I want it and where I have spesified it in
fstab (I want it as /media/shared-files )
On 2.6.20-14 neither IDE disk is recognized at boot, causing the fsck
failure at boot and when the login manager comes up, it gives me a
warning that /home/{username} is not available and suggests I rectify
it.
The two IDE disks are connected as master/slave on one of two ports on a
PCI IDE controller card. As they work in 2.6.20-13 (with a bit of
fiddling for the second disk) I assume the problem is not with this
controller....?
I assume this is a regerssion in 2.6.20-14 over 2.6.20-13? Please let me
know any additional info I can submit to help fix this issue?
