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?

Straight off guess is that /dev/sdb1 was a USB stick plugged in during setup, and that the fstab has an entry for it and tries to mount it.
Check /etc/fstab for a line starting /dev/sdb1, if one exists comment it out and try rebooting. If everything works, that'll have been that.
