[Bug 618244] [NEW] Kernel reports "you have serious problems with /Home or /Windows or just locks at boot

[Andrew Ugan]

Public bug reported:

Using Kubuntu Variant of Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release:        10.04

This is a problem with a new release installed on new hardware on a new
release, so I can't be too specific about when/how this cropped up.  Can
say that it's been a problem through about three kernel updates (32-21
to 32-24).

The kernel commonly reports one or more errors during boot.  Usually
something along the lines of "you have a serious errror with Filesystem
/home or /windows (or both).  Gives an option to ignore/skip
mounting/manual recovery.  If the problem is ignored and the system
boots, there are no problems and all runs as normal.  Sometimes things
just hang.  Typical sequences:

no problems -- everything boots normally
problem with /home -- ignore -- boots normally
problem with /home -- ignore -- problem with /windows.  Must either skip mounting /windows or force restart (ctrl-alt-dlt)
problem with /windows -- again, skip mounting or restart.

I'd say that that normal boots might be 30% of the time.  Given a
problems with /home, ignoring it still leads to a successful boot 40-50%
of the time.  Anything else, just restart.  Seldom have to more than
once.

Here's a dmsg trace that might be associated with the problem (full dmsg
appended):
