I'm experiencing a variation on this problem in Karmic (similar to jase and Krastanov):
When I booted up this morning, mountall informed me that it was waiting for /home to mount. I pressed ESC which took me to the recovery console, and then tried running mountall again. This was the result: swapon: /dev/disk/by-uuid/aaf5xxxx : swapon failed: Device or resource busy mountall: swapon /dev/disk/by-uuid/aaf5xxxx [995] terminated with status 255 mountall: Problem activating swap: /dev/disk/by-uuid/aaf5xxxx (uuids truncated to save space) Note that I have no encrypted partitions or LVM, and my system refuses to continue beyond this point. On the off-chance that it might help, I also tried removing 'splash' from the kernel line in GRUB, but with no apparent effect. -- mountall 0.2.5 and cryptsetup fail to boot when using usplash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456274 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
