Ubuntu new with Feisty is trying to do more things in parallel to speed up boot time. One result I think I see (I'm not a developer) is that messages are appearing from different functions interspersed on the screen. There is some attempt to unravel these in /var/log/syslog and other logs in /var/log but I don't know enough of the process. The last few lines may be sensible but there could be some parallel function that has hung up.
For whatever reason, both CD Live and Ubuntu installed do look at the other drives in the system during boot. This is handy for me since I copy things back and forth from the different Linux's, or even Windoze. A net effect I hit was a file system check failure on a drive that I had removed from the system a while ago; pointers to it were still in /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab. >From another post in bug 106864: " Adding piix in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules allowed to advance more in the startup but the kernel was not able to finish the startup. I've added this in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules: piix i2c_piix4 i2c_core Now the problem is solved in my system." -- Feisty boot fail "can't access tty" IDE SATA problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106864 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
