Hi,
I have AMD 64 system with 2 hard drives. I am trying Lucid 64 bit in the first hard drive(sda7 as / and sda8 as /home). Installation goes fine and Lucid runs without errors. The problem starts when boot into my old Ubuntu 9.1 32 bit which is in second drive(/dev/sdb1 as / and /dev/sdb2 as /home) even once.
After booting into Karmic if I try to boot Lucid it fails with error /home is not present or not ready.
On fdisk or gparted /dev/sda8 is shown as unknown filesystem. fsck.ext4 throws tons of errors. The only way to restore is reinstall or delete the /home partition and reformat to ext4.
FYI I use encrypted home directory in both versions.
I have tried this 3 times and it is reproducible every time.
I have not filed a bug yet as I dont know if it is an error with Karmic or lucid.
Please let me know where the error is.
Kind regards
Karthik
