Thread: Will not finish booting /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted

i have never in year had problem d-boot system. 2 days ago tried boot ubuntu every day. started load normal, went ubuntu logo , paused 15 seconds , posted under logo:



1 or more of mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet mounted
/: waiting /dev/loop0
/tmp: waiting (null)
/boot: waiting /host/ubuntu/disks/boot
press esc enter recovery shell




have looked everywhere , tried many things, can't further. have been doing 2 days trying boot system. hate thank windows being on drive or wouldn't able research bug.

help.....please.... no ….help

can post output of

cat /etc/fstab|grep -v "^#"

and

sudo fdisk -l

and

ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

you're going need run both of these recovery prompt (which interestingly means don't need prepend sudo second command). can pipe output drive can access windows partition running "command > file_to_save_as.txt" make sure know you're saving it, or can transcribe, if go way careful writing.

give idea these do, first shows disks machine attempting mount @ system boot. second , third show disks mounted , bit more information disks (hopefully).

while you're @ recovery prompt might want update & upgrade (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade). seems complaining sort of problem cd/dvd drive.
