Comment 64 for bug 6367

This is a really serious bug. I just inserted a memory stick to my Ubuntu Thinkpad, and it wouldn't mount properly (detected as hde1 and not automatically mounted as a removable device as earlier). I then attempted a restart with the stick inserted - and oups, the computer won't boot, complaining that the there is no operating system on the disk. It seems that after the Dapper upgrade there has been some serious messing around with what constitutes the default HD.

Needless to say, this procedure has worked flawlessly from Warty through Hoary and Breezy, on the exact same hardware.
