Hi,
On my laptop, I am trying to configure a dualboot of Fedora Core 6 and Ubuntu 6.10, and I would like to share the swap partition between the two distros. My 80GB disk is partitioned as follows:
Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1217 9775521 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 1218 2191 7823655 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 2192 2446 2048287+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda4 2447 9729 58500697+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 2447 9729 58500666 83 Linux
Where hda2 contains Ubuntu and hda1 contains FC6 (with /home on hda5). I first installed Ubuntu, which also formatted hda3. However, this partition was reformatted when installing FC6, and after that Ubuntu gives the following error upon booting:
Code:
fsck.ext3
Unable to resolve UUID=[some hexadecimal number]
The reformat by FC6 of hda3 removed the UUID number, hence the problem above. However, adapting /etc/fstab, by mounting /dev/hda3 instead of the UUID-string, does not help.
Any thoughts on what may be the problem and how it could be solved?
Many thanks in advance,
Regulus
