Dapper is EOL. Can you try with a supported Ubuntu version please?

Title:
  Dapper flight 6 (ppc): external USB disk is detected too late for
  mount via /etc/fstab

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I connected an external USB 2.0 disk drive to my mac mini (ppc). The
  ext3 partition /dev/sda1 isn't mounted during startup due to the error
  message "* mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist". After I
  have logged in as root I can mount it manually ("mount /home/").

  The file /etc/modules contains an entry for "usb_storage".
  In "/etc/fstab" there is the following line:
  /dev/sda1 /home  ext3   auto,rw 0 0

  I don't know whether this is a problem of the initscripts or module-init-tools package. Package versions:
  initscripts 2.86.ds1-6ubuntu26
  module-init-tools 3.2.2-1ubuntu6
  linux-image-2.6.15-20-powerpc 2.6.15-20.30
