Howdy All,
I decided to try to do the 3 distro upgrade stretch from 8.04 to 10.04 this weekend and now I am hung on 9.04 to 9.10.. The upgrade went swimmingly, but I hit a wall upon boot. When I try to load kernel 2.6.31-22 I am greeted with the following error:
[ 20.879845] ACPI: I/O resource vt596_smbus [0x400-0$407] conflicts with ACPI region SMOV [0x400-0x406]
Mount of root filesystem failed.
A maintenance shell will now be started ...
After doing some digging I found this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1301724) which appears to be similar in the inability to mount the filesystem. However, it does not mention the ACPI error. I tried everything in that thread; verifying device ID's, editing fstab options; running a filesystem check, and flipping the UTC option in the rcS file but nothing worked. The OP of that thread eventually did a fresh install of Karmic; but I would rather not have to go that far.
I found a few bug reports of this issue, but none of them have proposed fixes attached. I noticed that I cannot run an fstab command from my maintenance terminal (is it a command line utility?) so maybe that's a problem. I also reinstalled my nvidia drivers because those break every upgrade so I thought they may have gummed something up. Finally, I ran update-grub but that also didn't help. My primary partition is ext3 soooo ... that's about all I can think of. Any ideas?
I can provide any further information requested. I look forward to some help.
Thank you in advance,
Brady C. Jackson
P.S. Posting a thread this long from an N900 make this phone totally kickass.
