[Bug 753853] Re: [natty] The disc drive for / is not ready yet or not present

[asmrl]

I'm getting the error 
"The disc drive for /tmp is not ready yet or not present" every random number of boots. 

I've tried:

fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
fsck.ext2: Is a directory while trying to open /tmp

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

Please advise. I'm fairly new with all of this. 
Thanks.

Title:
  [natty] The disc drive for / is not ready yet or not present

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  UPDATE:

  This is not udev bug. If you experience this issue please complete the
  upgrade (sudo apt-get install -f). Broken branding-ubuntu package was
  causing apt to stop prematurely leaving the system in an inconsistent
  state.

  Binary package hint: udev

  After the latest update my Acer aspire One stopped booting:

  init: udevtrigger main process (297) terminated with status 1
  init: udevtrigger post-stop process (300) terminated with status 1
  init: udevmonitor main process (296) killed by TERM signal
  init: udev-fallback-graphics main process (296) terminated with status 1

  The disc drive for / is not ready yet or not present
  ontinue to wait; or Press  to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

  After this it is sometimes possible to regain somehow working system
  by running mountall command in manual recovery terminal. From that
  shell one can complete the interrupted upgrade (if you are on a wired
  network).
