I also have this problem. I have a testing and a stable install of Ubuntu. I have Gutsy installed on most of my HD. It booted up correctly every time. Last night I installed Hardy Alpha 2 onto the testing partition and left all of the Gutsy partitions alone. From then onwards, Gutsy stalls on every boot saying that fsck tried to check the disk with UUID [whatever] and that it failed. One then has to get out of the maintenance shell. I have also lost access to the testing partition since the install of Hardy.
Note that Bug #134763 complains about fsck failing with an error. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- [gutsy] Don't change UUID of existing ext3 partition when formatting it for install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
