Comment 115 for bug 115616

For the sake of not being "totally useless" here's what I recall of this story, this happened on mom-in-law machine, so there's nothing more I can contribute, being in other city as of now.

I have been testing gutsy alpha, beta and final on that machine. Always using the update-manager GUI for the updates. On the last update if requested for a "partial upgrade" which I accepted and I also agreed with it to "remove obsolete packages" or something similar. After the reboot the problem was there, showing on dmesg on a terminal, I had an usable gnome desktop, but my NTFS partitions won't show on the desktop or auto mount and I had the problem of the CD tray not opening completely.

All the symptoms were resolved once evms was removed using aptitude.

Hope this helps and keep up the great work.
