Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

- ubuntu desktop amd64 alpha-2 candidate, builds 20100630 and 20100630.1 (confirmed on both).
- German language, with network

I did a standard "use entire disk" install. Installation went fine, but at boot I get a "General error mounting filesystems" in the initramfs.

I cat'ed /proc/mounts, commandline and available UUIDs, see attached screenshot.

This might be virtio-specific - I believe there's a relevant initramfs-tools bug.

Actually, maybe not, we have virtio_pci in base ...

... and this error is from mountall anyway, not from the initramfs.

Tried with auto-resize installation, but system still doesn't boot properly.

tried with different installation mode (manual, automatic: full disk erase). Get it there on a dell mini 10 with desktop (and netbook) with HD.

I encountered this identical behavior performing an "entire disc" install w/20100630.1 i386.

Reproduced. There's no /etc/fstab. I'm sure that can't be a good thing.
