http://askubuntu.com – Just update my dell Inspiron to 12.04.1. Upon reboot I get the following error: The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present. I press "S" to skip mount and then I get the folllowing error: the disk drive for /tmp is not ready yet or not present. I have already tried the following from the maintanance shell prompt: dpkg --configure -a No luck same error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (HowTos)

Stories similar to 12.04.1 Error After Upgrade

Ok, I guess I need help with this. I have a dual boot Vista/Ubuntu HP system. I decided to finally upgrade my 10.04 LTS to 12.04. All seemed to go well, but when I attempt a reboot, I get this message: "The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present". Hit 'skip' and it then says "The disk drive to /tmp is not ready or not present".

yet another perfect upgrade 38 weeks 4 days ago

Upgraded a working system from 10.04 lts to 12.04 lts; now it won't boot; some things never change. I now get a udev error about some 'colord' reference being wrong, followed by a notification that the disk is either not ready or not present, Continue to wait, press S to skip it, M to manually fix it.

If I wait; well, nothing happens.

I recently did the update from 12.04 to 12.10 on my old Dell Latitude CPx laptop (Pentium III). When I rebooted I got this error message with no response from keyboard input. Below it is says

Wait to continue, press S to skip mounting, or M for manual recovery.

I also see occasional errors pop up on the screen from mountall and Plymouth. I can still get into Recovery Mode.

So, I have a raid 1 array that's not starting at boot. I have to manually restart the array, mount it, then add the second drive to as it shows 1 drive failed. it recovers and works fine... until I reboot. Then I have to start all over again.

I have upgraded my OS to version 12.04. after completion of upgrade the laptop get restarted. But the root is not mounting. It shows a message The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present What is the solution for this problem? Or atleast can i restore my lap to the previous version?

At first, I got this message: "The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present" I typed 'M' to run manual recovery in shell.

Next, I tried

chroot / mount -n -o remount,defaults /dev/sda1 / apt-get install -f

I got this off a post, but I have no clue what it means (I'm a total rookie at shell)!

My Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit keeps crashing on boot.

Errors when booting Ubuntu 36 weeks 6 days ago

I am not able to boot Ubuntu.

I installed from a USB. When I boot, I get an error that says "The disk drive for devmapper/crystswap1 is not read yet or not present." If I skip mounting (which take me to a normal UBUNTU minus a few features/my wallpaper. The funny thing is when I boot with the USB in, I don't get this error. What should I do?
