Hi When I boot my ThinkPad in to Ubuntu it gets stuck. It flashes on a screen and says something like unable to find sdb1. I have to press S to skip mounting it and continue booting. It is annoying. I think this has something to do with Storage Device Manager which I use to automount a FAT32 partition - which I use as shared storage for my files. I dual boot Ubuntu and XP and have a spare partition to put everything. I looked in Storage Device Manager and could find no reference to sdb1. sda1 = xp sda2 = ubuntu sda3 = swap sda4 = fat32 shared partition. sda4 is set to automount with correct rw permissions. This works fine. Any ideas?
