Public bug reported: Binary package hint: upgrade-system
I did a dist upgrade from Ubuntu 6.10 to 7.04 and got the following error on reboot. fsck exited with status 8 (/dev/hda2). Though nothing of it and ran fsck which then cleaned and repaired the file system and carried on until the system became unusable. So deciding this was a product of the dist upgrade and the relative age of the machine I set about reinstalling from the Ubuntu boot disk. Things went fine right up to the point the machine was booted up the following day and the message reappeared. I ran fsck manually again this time the system came back with a shed load of errors which were fixed. Right now lets reboot. Boot splash Ok starting to boot then hung. I have access to the logs from my life boat (Windows 2000) but theirs nothing significant other than some unhandled drive error codes and the fsck log had the following content. Log of fsck -C -R -A -a Sat Apr 28 07:46:31 2007 fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN /dev/hdc2: 3 files, 4/1121444 clusters dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN /dev/hda1: 117386 files, 1224296/2275987 clusters /dev/sda1: clean, 26871/2448000 files, 3144810/4887784 blocks fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=46fd179f-e5da-496e-b2cd-d8c23bf145f9' fsck died with exit status 8 Sat Apr 28 07:46:49 2007 The system is now unbootable (well Linux is anyway). The kernel reports no problem with the drive neither does Windows, smart or Aida32.
