Reboot failure after upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS
- by Alan Fietz
I bought our computer from Freegeeks with Ubuntu 8.04 installed.
I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 on Thursday November 10. I have an ASUS P4P800SE with dual Intel P4@3GHZ.
Installation messages were:
- Error loading Nautilus config info
- Replaced customied /etc/login.defs
- Replaced customized /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
- 189 packages removed
- WARNING: Failed to read mirror file
When I rebooted, the usual
ASUS screen appeared,
then "Loading GRUB"
then "starting Up..."
then "starting Up..." again
then a blank screen (the moniter went dormant).
I rebooted, started GRUB and selected:
version 10.04.3 LTS kernel 2.6.32-35 generic
I got the same results.
I rebooted, started GRUB and selected:
kernel 2.6.24-29 generic
Here's what was displayed:
udevd [875]: error getting socket:
Invalid argument
libudev:udev_monitor_new_from_netlink:
error getting socket: Invalid argument
Segmentation fault
**Gave up waiting for root device**
Common problems
- Boot args (cat/proc/cmdline)
- Check root delay
- check root
- Missing modules (cat/pro/modules;
**Alert!
/dev/disk/by_vvid/c59c6361 etc...
does not exist. Dropping to a shell.**
Then Busybox v1.13.3 started with the following prompt (?)
(initramfs) _
But my typing did not appear on the screen.
It appears the hard drive cannot be found. Any suggestion on how to remedy this?
Thank you.
