hi Phillip,

I got some failed boots yesterday. Before that the usual moaning, but it pulled through in the end. My daily updates included a new kernel, and that sure made it easier to reproduce failure :-)

After rebooting into the new kernel, /home could not be mounted. I chose M for Manual recovery and got the information you asked me in #63 (pic 3493). Btw, I hope you don't mind me posting some photo's again here, it's quite a lot of info to type manually and I can't copy and paste it easily.
Rebooted again, failed again. To be sure I got the same info (pic 3494).
Rebooted again, failed again. First some of the 'normal' messages which I managed to capture (pic 3495), then it stumbled on a damaged root fs (pic 3496).
Rebooted again, failed again. This time it could not mount root and I got a Busybox. Did the checks (as in pics 3497 and 3498.)
Finally I rebooted into the previous kernel and that got me a working system.

As far as I can see the results are pretty consistant. I do hope this makes more sense than it makes to me.
At least we can now provoke the failure quite reliably...

The second machine I'm using usually gives messages like in pic 3495, but then does boot OK.
Anything more you want me to check, let me know.

cheers
Tom
