Ubuntu :: 11.04 Won't Boot After Update ?

Jul 14, 2011

Yesterday I got updated Ubuntu With Update Manager. Everything was OK until I rebooted the system so that update can tack effect. When I rebooted It's stuck in the middle of something. (No GUI). I tried recovery mode but same thing. Then I tried Previous version and it worked fine. Now I can boot into system but each time I need to select previous version. I found a script that gives information of boot (boot_info_script060).

Following is the output of the script.

Ubuntu :: Won't Boot After Update ?

May 12, 2010

I installed Kubuntu Lucid 10 days ago and it all went pretty smooth aside from the Plymouth res issue which I fixed following some online tutorial. It was working fine until yesterday when I updated the system. I think the update was primarily nvidia and maybe a new kernel, among other packages.

Now it won't boot... Plymouth shows then it goes to a blank screen, it looks like it's still working cause Ctrl + Alt + Del makes it reboot, but I can't get Ctrl + Alt + F1 to do anything and I can't get it to boot in Text mode (not sure if this was changed in Lucid). Also I can't access GRUB, it simply doesn't show up after holding Shift or any other key.

So I'm left with a completely unusable system and not sure how I can debug it since I can't get a console? Any hard way to make it boot into text mode?

Ubuntu :: Can't Boot After Update / Solution For This?

Feb 6, 2010

So I just installed Karmic onto my netbook that used to have Jaunty on it. As usual I did a system update after the clean install finish. In that update it included a kernal update to 2.6.31.19. As far as I know the update went fine.So when I restarted, after the usual bios screen, it just freezes. Some gibberish comes up and nothing happens. I did a hard reset. Then when bios came up again, I chose boot option, and then clicked to boot from my hard drive. GRUB came up (finally) and I chose the old kernal and it booted fine.

Just for good measure I tried booting from 2.6.31.19 and the same strange freezing thing that I mentioned in paragraph two happened.

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Boot After Update

Oct 11, 2010

I updated from 10.04 to 10.10 this afternoon, and after a reboot, I can't start ubuntu in the new kernel. Grub shows up fine, but after selecting the new kernel, all disk activity stops after a while. When booting in safe mode, the same thing happens.

Oddly, booting in the old kernel does work. I'm not sure which log files might be of use here, so haven't gotten much further..

[edit] Just tried to boot in the livecd, doesn't work either, same problem.... I guess there is a driver problem somewhere most likely

Ubuntu Installation :: Another 'no Boot After Update'?

Nov 30, 2010

jump straight in with a problem. I'm experiencing the same problem mentioned here; where it was suggested to start an individual thread.I have been using ubuntu as a dual boot with vista for a couple of months. Apart from a few hiccups I've been very pleased, but after an update I am unable to boot ubuntu. It appears to be the same issue in the link above.

I originally installed 10.4 (because my first attempt with 10.10 would not install (turned out to be duff CD)) and then updated to 10.10. All was fine until this latest automatic update.I've tried a few things suggested -- copying the c:ubuntuwinbootwubildr file over c:wubildr -- with no luck... I'm worried about making things worse and thought I'd ask first. I hope that's OK.I also tried working from my liveCD, but it only gave me the option to install (because it's 10.4 and I've updated?

Ubuntu :: Unable To Boot After Update?

Dec 23, 2010

I have 10.04 installed on my daughters Laptop. After running an update manager session, the system asked for a restart. After restarting the Laptop won't boot up. Get a black screen scrolling with lots of hex addresses then 3 unable to mount messages ( mounting to /dev /sys /prod ) then a no init found message, followed by entering a busybox shell session which leaves me at initramfs: I'm a newbie at this linux shell stuff and don't want to make it any worse by scrabbling along blindly! System is a dell Inspiron 1501, Ubuntu is installed on a clean formatted single partition.

Ubuntu :: Can't Boot After Kernel Update

Mar 5, 2011

I have used Ubuntu since 8.04 LTS on my IBM T30 and A31 for almost three years now but recently all of them have problems with kernel updates(? maybe I am wrong but it was very clear that they failed after a kernel update). I have tried all three solutions provided by [URL] but none worked for me. My last A31 failed to boot yesterday after some updates (I noticed that there was a kernel update). It has 10.04 LTS on sda5. Dual boot (Windows XP on sda1 but rarely use it). Now it can't load kernel. What shows on the screen is:

GNU GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu7 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. On the other T30 I had the same problem. I installed Windows XP and clean installed Linux Mint 8 and so far it is working alright. But on this machine I have an unfinished project that I really want to save it.

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Update Installed Now Cannot Boot

Apr 7, 2011

I have a Lenovo ideapad s10e with 4 HDs to it. I have windows xp as first OS, ubuntu 10.04 as other. Here's the situation: I installed Ubuntu 10.04 using Wubi. I can dual-boot, no problem at all. After I logged in to Ubuntu, I downloaded a set of updates. The next day, there's a prompt for an ubuntu update (10.10?). So I installed the update for an hour or so,then a menu for this "grub" appeared. So I just clicked it.

After the update has been finished and my laptop rebooted, I cannot boot, instead this option appeared:
Eroor No Such Device (some sort of numbers)
Grub Rescue>
I tried restoring my windows xp bootloader using a recovery pack but it doesn't load. I also tried supergrub2 and it doesn't load, too (I used usb.)

Ubuntu Installation :: After Update To 11.04 Won't Boot

May 1, 2011

I updated to 11.04, looked down after about an hour and a half, and my laptop was off. Now when I turn it on, it acts like it's checking my desk, but it says something like "/ is not available or doesn't exist press s to skip, or m to manually recover" then when you skip it's like "/mnt is not available" It could be possible I accidentally turned it off during the upgrade.

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Boot After Update

Jul 12, 2011

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 via wubi.exe to dual-boot between Ubuntu and Windows XP Home Edition. Ubuntu was the default OS to load on boot. I tried running a few updates in Ubuntu through the update manager, followed the instructions in the wizard, and restarted my computer when asked. The computer now automatically boots straight into the "GNU GRUB version 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3 Minimum BASH-like line editing is supported..."

I have only just started to get into Linux. I have no idea how to get through this portion. I can't load back into Windows either (at least...I'm not sure how to. I never get the opportunity to choose which OS to launch). I've tried researching this issue, but still not having a lot of success. My only current option is to completely reformat my HD, but this is (hopefully) not going to be needed. If I could just get back into Windows I think I could probably reinstall with Wubi.

Ubuntu :: System Won't Boot After Security Update?

I just allowed Update Manager to install the latest security updates to the Linux kernel, header and xorg and clicked on restart system. After selecting Ubuntu from the system's boot manager I'm dropped into a Grub command line and don't have any idea what to do next.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 inside Windows Vista on a Toshiba L500 laptop using the Wubi setup.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Boot After Kernel 2.6.32-24 Update

Sep 1, 2010

This morning, I booted into my administrator account and checked for updates. There were a number (bogofilter, for one) but also a update to the 2.6.32-24 kernel. I installed the updates and rebooted the system. When I rebooted, the thought occurred to me (from reading another thread) that one of the reasons my Zareason desktop boots slower than my laptop (55 seconds vs 35) was that I have an external floppy drive attached, and perhaps the delay was a difference in my system checking for a bootable floppy.

So I went into the BIOS when it was booting to check to see if the floppy was enabled (it wasn't). Then I selected "Exit without saving" and resumed booting. What happened next was instead of seeing the Ubuntu icon and the six dots, I see "Ubuntu 10.04" and four dots. Then I get on the black screen these errors (sorry for any mistyping, I wrote them down on a sheet of paper as I had no other computer available to troubleshoot):

udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured
udevadm settle is not permitted while udev is unconfigured
udevadm settle is not permitted while udev is unconfigured
udevadm settle is not permitted while udev is unconfigured

ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uiid/939af864-c1a8-41d7-9b24-91d25685b6 does not exist. Dropping to shell
Busybox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13:3-1ubuntu11 built-in shell (ash).
Enter 'help' for built-in commands
initramfs

Googling around once I got into work and had computer access, it seems that the problem is GRUB has lost track of what partition I should boot from? Here is a thread which might be relevant: [URL]. Before I left for work, I went into the BIOS again and looked at the CMOS settings--everything looked normal. I once again exited without saving anything. I was going to try selecting an earlier kernel from the GRUB menu on boot, but couldn't remember the key to press.

I found out later today, to enter GRUB 2 it's been changed to the shift key, and not the F2 key like it used to be. One poster on the aforementioned thread said his system would boot ok to the earlier kernel. The thread above has as its solution to either try to tell GRUB where your boot partition is and/or re-installing GRUB. I have /home on a separate partition, so if I need to do a re-install I can do so without it being a major pain. Sda1 is the partition which has the OS.

Ubuntu :: Boot Hangs After System Update?

Sep 10, 2010

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 on a desktop. I then did the system updates and on the reboot the system now hangs at the splash screen before the login screen. I only get a blinking cursor on the text-based terminals. I don't see the grub menu, I assume because Ubuntu is the only OS on this machine. So I can't boot to single user or text-only mode.

Ubuntu Installation :: Regular Update Now Can't Boot From HD Or CD?

Oct 7, 2010

I updated my Ubuntu 10.04 on Dell 1330 and on the next boot it failed. I get a series of messages, the main point seems to be that it can't find the files it needs to mount.I tried booting from the live cd I used to install 10.04, but it can't boot either due to wrong user id error and maybe trying to boot from wrong kernel?At this point I am willing to just wipe the hard drive and do a fresh install but how to do that if I can't run the install cd?Or is there a way from initramfs to solve this?I tried mount /dev/sda1/mnt but it says cannot read /etc/fstab no such file.libdevmapper

Ubuntu :: Can't Boot After NVidia Driver Update

Oct 14, 2010

I'm in the live CD right now trying to figure out what to do. When I first got into Ubuntu, it asked me to install nVidia drivers, so I did. Afterwards, it said I needed to restart my computer to finish installation, but when upon getting past the bootloader, my screen hangs on "Assuming drive cache: write through". I found this post: [URL] but the terminal commands didn't help and I can't find /etc/xorg.cfg even if I show hidden files. I've added a picture of the screen I get when I try to boot up, so maybe someone can tell me what to do to get back into Ubuntu. I would like to be able to get back without having to reinstall, if possible.
