Comment 72 for bug 218434

The -proposed package, 2.22.1-1ubuntu1, appears to have fixed the issue for me. My config is a Hardy 8.04-release installed on a PNY USB Flash Drive with a swap and root partition.

As a matter of correctness (but not really in the scope of this big), should the device that holds the root partition be allowed to be flagged as removable at all? Maybe there should be a HAL update to force the root device to be non-removable.
