[PLUG] /home lost

All,

I have a laptop that has been running Ubuntu Gutsy without problem for a 
while.  I wanted to play in KDE and installed the desktop.   It made a 
mess of my menus (editable I realize) and Kstars did not run stable.  So 
I uninstalled the KDE desktop and installed the few programs that I 
wanted, allowing apt to install the dependencies.

So, the other night I got a wild hair and installed Kubuntu on another 
partition.  The install went well and it updated.  I then rebooted the 
computer back to Ubuntu and it won't load telling me that /home is not 
to be found.  Kubuntu is using it, so I know it physically exists.  
Ubuntu just can't see it now.

My assumption was that since it is a separate partition, they would 
share.  My bad (?)

Can someone please explain what happened, is what I am trying to do 
possible, and how do I fix Ubuntu so that it sees my home partition.

Thank you!

Bruce
