Error after restart

[flabordec]

I have installed Kubuntu Feisty for the second time now. Both times I configures settings to my liking, installed many packages (Eclipse, Sun-Java-6, ATI binary drivers, etc.), and both times after restarting I get a black screen with lots of messages stating hdd is not ready and KDE never boots.

After some tinkering I found /etc/fstab had my main drivers commented and only the dvd drive (mounting on /media/hdd) was uncommented. I figured it had something to do with that so I uncommented the lines, but after restarting all I get is a black screen.

Any hints?

Greetings,

Re: Error after restart

Could you please post the contents of /etc/fstab ...?

/etc/fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

/dev/fd0    /media/floppy0 auto  rw,user,noauto 0    0

I belive the greater problem didn't have to do with fstab. I have managed to boot into Kubuntu by using

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

As stated in some posts on the forum, but the messages

hdd: drive not ready for command

are still appearing on the background when using TTY# so I think there might be something wrong still.

Thanks a lot

Re: Error after restart

This sounds just like the problem I have which I posted several weeks ago (about one week after the release).
I am not a 'tinkerer', and just want to be able to use this! Any suggestions?

Please mail and and all suggestions also to: richard@LPAgroup.biz - thanks

Re: Error after restart

Merely a guess - but does adding ide=nodma to the boot options change anything?
