When I start LM it always halts at a screen and says
"The disk drive for /media/sdd1 is not ready yet or not present."
Then I have to press S to continue booting.
I have gone through everything looking for references to this
drive which I removed a few weeks ago but can't find anything.
Also Gparted and psydm and grub make no references to it at all.
How do I remove this to get a smooth bootup?
Thanks

Re: LM bootup halts at message about removed drive
Linux is attempting to mount a drive specified in your fstab file that was probably present when you installed but is now no longer available. Post the output of each of these terminal commands. Please enclose the text in code markers when you post to make it easier to read.
Code: Select all
cat /etc/fstab
Code: Select all
sudo blkid
Code: Select all
sudo fdisk -l
