Pascal - the graphics card info is as follows:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G84
[GeForce 8600 GT] [10de:0402] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Forgive my lack of expertise in these matters, but I have no idea about
blacklisting video cards, like why I would even need to do that
(actually, to a novice like me it kind of sounds dangerous, hehe).
Looking at the blacklist examples in /boot/grub/gfxblacklist.txt, I
can't even see what part of the above info I'd have to put in. I assume
this has something to do with why my boot utterly fails when it can't
mount /media/Windows\040XP, rather than give me the option to skip and
just resume boot. Once again, forgive my ignorance about why a mount
failure and video card issue could be related.
Anyway, all I can say is that while playing with the values in fstab and
using mount -a to see if any changes work, everything I do still ends
with the error: [mntent]: line 1 in /etc/fstab is bad
Whether I use spaces, \040 instead of spaces, and quotes around the path
of both of those or not, there is still no way for me to mount those
with spaces. I know the short answer is just to change the mount points
to those with no spaces, but the reason I have not done that is that I
have so many links and bookmarks etc pointing to "Windows XP" - not to
mention in a VirtualBox WinXP appliance where so much is tied to the
physical WinXP partition - it would cause me too much hassle to change
the mount point to "Windows_XP" (Ubuntu's automount recognises the
partition's label of "Windows XP", and while I have to manually mount
that, all my links/bookmarks then work, and I just have to remember to
do that before loading my WinXP virtual machine, otherwise it too spits
the dummy and fails to load).
PS: my mountall version is now 2.42ubuntu0.4, but still no luck.
