Hello
I got an issue after upgrading a 10.10 ubuntu to 11.04 with an alternate CD
After installation and boot to ubuntu, I ran into the following error :
"the disk drive for /boot is not yet ready or not present"
.. with options to either ignore the error or manually repair.
Ignoring the error led to the same message with "/home" and them prompted the ubuntu log-in screen. Once logged, several errors messages popped up and no GUI was displayed, leaving no other option than to reboot.
Solutions for similar problems were given here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1724209) and there (http://askubuntu.com/questions/38617/root-filesystem-check-fails-after-power-failure-during-installation/) (remount the root partition, then launch an update) but in my case that didn't fixed the issue.
My pc is configured as a dualboot windows7/ubuntu 64 bits on a Raid0, using two HD. My /etc/fstab is as follow :
/dev/mapper/isw_djibifgbhd_Volume06 / ext4 errors = remount-ro 0
/dev/mapper/isw_djibifgbhd_Volume03 /boot ext4 defaults 0
/dev/mapper/isw_djibifgbhd_Volume07 /home ext4 defaults 0
/dev/mapper/isw_djibifgbhd_Volume05 none swap defaults 0
Using fsck -a and mount -a lead me to the following messages :
fsck -a :
fsck.ext4: No such file or directory while trying to open dev/mapper/isw_djibifgbhd_Volume06mount -a :
mount: special device /dev/mapper/isw_djibifgbhd_Volume03 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/mapper/isw_djibifgbhd_Volume07 does not exist
When booting on a live CD, gparted could not recognized my partitions (just the two hard disks) while disk utility still detect how the different drives were configured.
I assume I just have to make the system recognize the volumes somehow. The solution may be trivial, but I am not used to deal with this kind of problems and I don't know how to resolve this issue.
If someone can give me some hints about how to proceed, thanks in advance !
