I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 using the upgrade method. No obvious errors. Everything seems to generally work but 2 things. The first was that the grub menu file was not upgraded to include the new operating system. I therefore hand copied and modified the lines to what I guess the new files to be. It seems to work.

I added the following to the menu and got no objections:

title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=UUID=fd8f19a1-4bed-4928-8726-fdc16025b045 ro splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic
quiet

No matter whether booting from the original or the one above, the network files that I mount using the fstab which worked just fine under 7.10 stopped working.

the results from sudo mount -a give

mount error: could not find target server.
TCP name linux-server/bee_ShareDsk1 not found
No ip address specified and hostname not found

hosts and hostname files appear to be correct. I use DHCP for addressing from my router.

I have also tried replacing the linux-server name with the ip address but it then responds

mount error 13 = Permission denied

Any suggestions of why the information is not getting back to the mount function.

Oh, under nautilus, it mounts these shares from the server just fine. I need to mount these with the mount command as I wish to define them under wine.

thanks
