[Bug 614668] Re: Message "The disk drive for ... is not ready yet" is NOT displayed following upgrade to2.6.32-24-generic-pae kernel

[Steve Langasek]

If the screen went blank after a kernel update, this should be filed
against the kernel.

In any case, mountall should not be prompting at all for a mount point
under a user's home directory... the boot should continue whether or not
this drive can be mounted.

** Package changed: mountall (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Message "The disk drive for ... is not ready yet" is NOT displayed
  following upgrade to2.6.32-24-generic-pae kernel

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mountall

  This is similar but not identical to #571444.

  I have the following entry in /etc/fstab: -

  /dev/sdb2               /home/hayd/lenovo               hfsplus
  rw,auto,exec,user

  relating to an external USB drive.

  During boot-up of the previous 2.6.32-23-generic-pae kernel, I am
  prompted with the following message: -

  The disk drive for /home/hayd/lenovo is not ready yet or not present
  Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

  which is precisely as one would expect.

  However, following a recent upgrade to 2.6.32-24-generic-pae, this
  message is no longer displayed; instead, I am presented with a
  completely blank screen.

  Having used the GRUB2 menu ( via the [Shift] key ) to boot back to the
  -23 kernel, I realised (a) what the problem is and (b) how to overcome
  it - by pressing the [S] key to skip the auto-mount.

  Therefore, I'm now able to boot -24 and get past the exception, by
  hitting [S], but the message should be displayed in clear text.

  It's my view that this is a bug introduced by the kernel update.

  Hardware

  Lenovo Thinkpad W500 ( 4061-BL5 )
  AMD/ATI Radeo graphics ( via i915 open-source driver )
  Gnome 2.30.02
