Did you clone one disk on top of another? I did installation two times. My first installation attempt failed and I repeated the process. I don't remember what exactly failed in the first attempt. In the two attempts, I guess I might have given different hard disk for the root file system. In each attempt, I told Ubuntu to use both the hard disks with LVM. Suppose Ubuntu is installed on both the hard disks, then I should be able to boot Ubuntu from either of them. But currently I can boot from only one of them. > Can you boot off a liveCD and do the same command again please? Also > please run the 'blkid' command show that output as well.

I'll try the other simpler option (below) first and will come back to this if that didn't work. > Annamalai> Here are some of the output of the commands in that desktop: > > Looking at your 'lsblk' output, I suspect you can remove drive sda, > the Seagate.
