[CS-FSLUG] Ubuntu and a mysterious update

[Hilding Egestål]

I have compared UUID at the start in GRUB (Fedora6) with etc/fstab in Ub
7.04, They are the same. At the same time GParted in GNOME says that the
mounting point for hda1 (=Ub 7.04) can not be found.

So, my quess is that there are some problems with the partitioning, I
cannot find any explanation, so I will live with it. And that the
command "reboot" will put the process to a right end I cannot
understand.
