Had a go at the new upgrade with my toshiba laptop last night. From start said something about 3 hours, 10.00 pm and I thought that, hey why not go to bed, let it run and then wake up with a fresh new system ^^, and so I did... When I start the computer in the morning the screen's completely blank*I can hear it\s humming so it's probably on. Nothing to do but tu coldswitch the power of. Then when I start, it loads 'till the Studio startup loading screen, it's pendling for a while, then shuts down with this: One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted: (ESC for recovery shell) /: waiting for /dev/desk/by-uuid/454e1178-0212-4c6b-a191-c02f849fe67b /tmp: waiting for (null) swap: waiting for UUID=7e22945c-a518-4174-8816-41a41d8f05d6 ...I am able to, from this pos, press esc and drop to recoveryshell. There I can find my main harddrive and from this I would asume that my main drive has been mounted, no? ...t'hell's wrong? Has the upgrade/flawed shutdown messed up my swap? //Paco / I'll post solution if I find one. .) </blockquote></div>
