Bug Description
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10
The cause for an error
"Errors while checking disk drive for /MyPartition"
can also be an earlier system time! It took a long time to find this out: when booting the kernel with noplymouth and without "quiet splash", I found the reason for the "disk errors":
"Der Zeitpunkt des letzten Schreibens von SuperBlock (Wed Apr 25 13:27:46 2012, jetzt: Mon Apr 23 09:46:10 2012) liegt in der Zukunft."
which is something like "superblock last write time is in the future". See Bug #268808 for a similar description.
As the normal Ubuntu boot screen just shows a message "disk error", and all the fixing like fsck doesn't help, it would be much clearer to have a message like "system time before max file system time! (Check system time in BIOS!)".
