ricardisimo: In your /etc/fstab you have "/dev/sdb1 /media/storage". Assuming /media/storage is what is not turning up, you are proably best off working out what the UUID for the missing partition, and replacing /dev/sdb1 with UUID=(the uuid you have found that represents /media/storage). Assuming the uuid is correct sudo mount -a will try and add all devices mentioned in /etc/fstab. I believe you can use (for example) sudo vol_id /dev/hda1 to find out the UUID of /dev/hda1 . What is /media/storage by the way? Is it a USB disk or is it a SATA/PATA internal disk?
Your lspci informs us that you have an ICH5 IDE disk controller so we can tell you are seeing fallout due to the disabling of the SATA as described in Bug #116996 which will have changed /dev/sd?? devices into /dev/hd?? ... -- Hard drives not recognized after kernel upgrade to 2.6.20-16-386. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117706 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
