livecd tries to access local filesystems on boot
Asked by
Felix Dietze
I had a laptop with a corrupted ext4 root filesystem on /dev/sda5, which I wanted to repair via fsck.
When trying to boot the laptop with the Ubuntu 10.04.1 livecd, the boot process stops and is showing the purple boot screen forever.
After booting without splash and quiet, there are some ext4-kernel errors because of a ext4 mount. Then again it drops me to the initramfs prompt with the error message: Cannot mount /dev/sda5 on /isodevice.
Then I repaired the filesystem with a gparted live system. After that the Ubuntu live CD booted fine.
so why does the livecd try to access my harddrive, when it should leave the system untouched?
