Hi

Some days back i installed 8.04 - along with my existing 7.04 (with 7.10 
upgrades) and a pre-existing wincedows.

Quick Summary - everything has gone well and all 3 OS's are working.

But there are some problems

When booting up 7.04 (after selecting from the Grub Menu) i get this 
error during boot up

***
Copied from the Log - but this gives the error:

a Control D does the job of resuming normal boot.

So whats this problem

and then another problem - which i am sure is related is that my ntfs 
partition does not auto mount.

my df -h is
~$ df -h

/dev/sda9             6.1G  2.1G  3.8G  36% /media/disk-1

**
what is missing here is /dev/sda1 which is my ntfs section.

***
so how can i rectify this ??

****
One of the reasons for dual booting 7.10 and 8.04 is that i can't get 
net to work on 8.04 so am keeping 7.10 till that issue is resolved (see 
mails Problems Setting Up Huawei ets2288 - CDMA (BSNL WLL) on Hardy Heron)

thanks
