Stories similar to [ubuntu] i/o error on every boot after resizing root partition

I tried to install Arch Linux onto an external hard drive, I made a root partition (ext3), and a little swap space. I flagged the root partition "boot" and I installed the grub loader onto the dev/sdb/ (not the root partition). Looked like a successful installation, but when I restarted grub was loading and quit part way with the Error 17: cannot mount selected partition...

well, after a lot of searching i have decided to ask here. i had win7/ubutu 10.10 32bit dualbooting on Asus 1201N for long time peacfully until i decided to give 10.10 64bit a try also. i had 92 gb sda1 ntfs partition for win7 and a 190 gb sda4 extended partition with: 10 gb ubuntu root, 10 gb ubuntu home, 4 gb ubuntu swap and the rest was big ntfs data partition. i have tried to resiz

I am on the ubuntu 12.04 64bit Beta right now. Having a more exotic partition setup:

- EFI - /boot PARTITION (fat) - LVM (encrypted) | |- /root |- /home |- /swap

Now I noticed that my boot partition doesn't get updated by the Update Manager. Thus new kernel images etc. get downloaded but to another /boot folder on the /root partition.

So I dual booted Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS x64 with my Windows 7 laptop. I have it burned to a dvd, so I booted the CD, selected to try Ubuntu, then installed inside the "trial" environment. I installed the boot partition as sda6 as /boot, then my root partition was sda7 as /, I made another partition for my home on sda8 as /home. I then made a 4gb swap partition.

Natch! Murphy's Law still reigns supreme!

I had the idea to dual boot Win 7 and Ubuntu and what I did was the following:

Made a clean install of win 7 using all of my hard drive, next I used the ubuntu live cd and gparted to partition my drive to be the following:

/dev/sda1 ext4 20GB (Linux root) /dev/sda2 ntfs 100GB(Win7) /dev/sda3 ext4 350GB(Home) /dev/sda4 extended 4GB(swap)

The thing is, when installing ubuntu I deleted the partiti

I have 250Gb drive on a laptop, which has Windows 7 on a 122Gb ntfs partition (which has a "boot" flag on it) and Ubuntu 12.04.1 on a 110Gb extended partition, of which the root ext4 partition is 108Gb and the swap is 1.74Gb. You can see everything in the screenshot below.

Hi guys I'm new to Ubuntu. I got a MacbookAir3,2 (Late 2010 13') using Mountain Lion. I followed this thread: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ma...elInstallation • I paid attention to entering "nomodeset" mode upon "try Ubuntu". • During the installation I created a 2G swap partition and another root partition.

I am trying to dual boot Ubuntu 13.04 on my MacBook and despite selecting the same partition as the Ubuntu root partition to install the bootloader, it installs Grub to the EFI partition under /EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi. The EFI partition is being mounted by Ubuntu under /boot/efi.
