> When booting, the system falls back to a shell while checking /dev/hda1.
Could you please quote the output of fsck just before Ubuntu enters the shell? Which boot loader does your system use (GRUB, NTLDR, LiLo)? The /boot partition being the last one on disk looks problematic, too. Is there any option in your BIOS setup like "Logical Block Adressing (LBA)", and if so, is it activated? -- filesystem check fails on boot, but filesystem isn't bad https://launchpad.net/bugs/48563 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
