Mount error when trying to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am upgrading a computer from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10. It was downloading and
installing files, so I went to lunch. When I came back the computer was on
but locked up - keyboard and mouse did not work and there was no output to
the display. I rebooted and after the Ubuntu splash screen I get the
following error:

One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted:
(ESC for recovery shell)
/: waiting for /dev/disk/by-uuid/6b1dd640-04f1-4f3c-ab91-a537f60841d1
/tmp: waiting for (null)
swap: waiting for UUID=19ec2898-8e83-4b1c-9b8f-8790d42fd56a

Can someone please give me some guidance on how to correct this problem?

Thanks,
Rod

Either reformat and install Windows or post to a newsgroup specific to
Ubuntu (which you are unlikely to find on the Microsoft newsservers).

First, find an appropriate newsgroup or forum for your question e.g.:

I didn't post it as a question, I posted it to show people that Ubuntu
really sucks. Alias should take notice.

Stop picking on non-Microsoft users by posting fake problems.
