You need to install the debug codes. Then run backtrace on it.

I assume you are doing a manual mount
What is the command you are using (with all parameters)?

Manual mount succeeds, but auto mounting via HAL fails is a known problem

How, to do that
AS i am having serious issues, just few minutes back i had a kernel panic.
all three led lights on Keyboard were flashing again & again.
system didn't respond at all, i was in a X session so couldn't see the errors.

now how do i backtrace and debug it?

buddy, whatever DE i use, i always get those haunted bugs.

Seems like hardware problem, remove your RAM and clean it up with dry cloth.

check the HDD cables.

My PC got infested with Zombies last night due to RAM module. I just cleaned it and now it works well.

Surprising part is these error always occur in Linux, my pc runs windows xp without any so called "Zombies".

First install ntfs-3g package.
Then edit /etc/fstab file to use module ntfs-3g instead of ntfs
Then set various options as follows :

my sample fstab file :

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD1600BEVS-_WD-WXE907033338-part9 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD1600BEVS-_WD-WXE907033338-part8 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/sda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs-3g umask=0,users,nls=utf8,rw 0 0
/dev/sda5 /mnt/win_d ntfs-3g umask=0,users,nls=utf8,rw 0 0
/dev/sda6 /mnt/win_e ntfs-3g umask=0,users,nls=utf8,rw 0 0
/dev/sda7 /mnt/win_f ntfs-3g umask=0,users,nls=utf8,rw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0

Be careful to edit lines pertaining to ntfs partitions only. As root make sure to create appropriate mount folders

Take a backup of your current fstab file first.

After editing fstab and creating mount folders, don't forget to reboot.
If you follow steps correctly, the partitions will be auto-mounted in read-write mode during each boot.

Good Luck

In 4.1.0 it could be resolved by adding entries to /etc/fstab but that workaround doesnt work anymore since 4.1.1. I've got HAL version 0.5.11-r3, doesn't fix. Maybe I'll try patching with the available patch there..

gary4gar · 15-09-2008, 12:55 PM

^^^
Yep, till then manual mount.

Or create custom location links in the sidebar

Right click on the Folder you wish to place into the Places sidebar and click "Add to Places".
