Every single time I upgrade to linux 2.6.31-22 , my ubuntu breaks.
When I load up ubuntu, I am confronted with a usplash that says "/tmp is not ready yet or not present". I wait for a very long time, and nothing happens.
I hit C to cancel that process, and then it says the same thing about /home. This also stalls and I am unable to make any progress from there.
After cancelling that, it says it can't mount /media/Windows. I skip that as usual. Because I haven't set up the right fstab for automounting windows.
Finally it says my disk has several errors and proceeds to do some checks, without the outward appearance of making progress.
I would let it do it's checks but I have to use my computer before Friday to complete class work.
Is there any quick fix to this problem?
I am running a new installation of Ubuntu (and Windows, which crashed long before this problem with Ubuntu). I partitioned my disk in a manner, with Windows leading, followed by root, swap and then /home, all on their own Primary partitions.
I'm right now talking from my livecd of 10.04. I am about to reinstall ubuntu for the second time, and I would like some advice regarding how to stop the new linux image from breaking my system everytime I upgrade.
