Was just hit by this problem in fully updated Ubuntu 7.10 Apparently, for whatever reason, the UUID of my Windows NTFS partision changed name from UUID=49862ec3-2b4b-4f20-a8b6-a57c75ee9952 to UUID=B460AD0660ACD082
1) OBVIOUSLY not automounting a windows partition should NOT halt booting into Linux (CTRL-D/d didnt do anything, had to ALT-CTRL-DEL... which then BTW took me to the desktop?!?... talk about unexpected behaviour). 2) Were on earth is the UUID change coming from? Is it some changes to ntfs-3g? The drive has obviously NOT been formated or had the UUID changed by me manually. 3) Somehow, after getting into the desktop, and opening /etc/fstab the NEW UUID has replaced the old UUID (in the console the old UUID was still there). Is this some kind of autofix/recovery? If it is, then it's still a bit broken since the update happens only AFTER the boot grinds to a halt and you manage to bypass it... by ALT-CTRL-DEL...
