I didn't actually edit the log. I had to enter it manually. I only get emergency mode on that netbook which doesn’t let me copy over the sosreport.txt file to any device. As far as the drive goes, I know it's fine. The problem isn't the drive, it's got to be the drivers or something stupid with grub. It will NOT mount by UUID. Period. I get this: Warning: /dev/disk/by-uuid/34307864-a1db-46e5-9815-d4c7c0698de35 does not exist I get this with EACH of the linux partitions it's trying to mount. Let me make this clear. I had this issue back with F16/17 and could boot by specifying the device the old way, /dev/sda5 etc. I can mount the drive partitions from a LIVECD of any linux distro. What I want to know is what do I need to do to make GRUB2 work? So far, I'm not at all impressed with GRUB2. It's beyond ridiculous to have to edit a half-dozen files to change how a system boots. I am considering trying to get it to boot by Label, but the directions to do so are just asinine. -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tim Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2013 11:13 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: More UUID madness Allegedly, on or about 19 September 2013, Mark Haney sent: > Does this trigger a thought with anyone on what the problem could be?

That's no guarantee. Windows will quite happily use broken hard drives, and the royally screw up when it hits a faulty part of the drive, then (often) not give any real clue as to why. Years ago, it was only with Linux that I found out I had a faulty drive, and why a Windows PC was inexplicably crashing. Swapping that drive, nothing else, and running with the same drive contents, and it became more reliable than I generally expected from Windows. Even new hard drives die, so newness is no guarantee. They can get zapped by static during handling. And bumping 5 inch drives while they're running, by moving the PC around, easily damages them. The smaller laptop drives seem better at protecting themselves when they're moved about. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
