Re: SCSI Disk gone after Ubuntu upgrade!?

I upgraded from Breezy to Dapper using the update manager (not the CD).

After doing so the first thing that happened was upon reboot I get a
lot more kernel options at boot time and all but one don't work/boot at
all. I can't remember the exact error right now but I'll post it later
after dinner.

I then got an error that X wouldn't start. I fumbled through that and
got it going again.

The next problem I ran into was that for some reason my /home partition
(which is my scsi drive) is completely missing. The entire drive does
not show up when I do a 'mount' command and if I go into /dev and look
for sd* there is nothing there. I know the disk is fine and its still
connected etc, but for some reason I can't see it. I *really* need this
back since it was my /home partition. Can anyone tell me how I can get
it to show up? It looks like in the absence of my normal /home drive
Ubuntu created a new one but obviously all my firefox bookmarks and all
other application settings are now gone.


Have you attempted to boot into one of the recovery-mode options on the boot
screen and then retrying to boot into the system to see if your SCSI device
nodes are present again?

What is the output of 'dmesg', 'lspci', and 'lsmod' on your system?
