Ubuntu Installation :: Boot Error 17 After Ugrade To 10.04?

Jul 5, 2010

I havent posted anything here before even though Ive used this forum successfully to find answers to several questions. But this time, I wasnt able to find a solution...

My actual problem: Yesterday, I did an online upgrade to 10.04, but got an error message before the "cleaning up" phase, stating that there was an error and the computer might not be able to start, which proved to be true. When trying to boot, I always receive an error 17.

My system has also a Win7 partition as well as a common data partition, which can be used by both Ubuntu and Windows. The windows system still starts up normally.I ran the boot info script and attached the results....

Ubuntu Installation :: Error 29: Disk Write Error Then Trying Again Windows Seems To Boot But It Takes Much Longer

Aug 17, 2010

i finally decided to updgrade from Hardy Heron to Lucid Lynx. for this i made a backup of my old install, then i couldnt find my Lucid CD so i used a Karmic one to partition my old ext3 to ext4. There were some errors but after trying a few times it worked. Installed Karmic, rebooted (worked fine), downloaded all updates - (did NOT reboot to let updates take effect) and upgraded to Lucid.

Everything went fine so far. Now when i try to boot into Lucid the system hangs, i've also got a windowsXP partition on there so i tried booting that, first grub tells me Error 29: Disk write error then trying again windows seems to boot but it takes much longer than it should and seems to hang.

Then i tried Karmic and Lucid LiveCD (which i found in the meantime) none of the LiveCDs make it to boot after about 20 minutes. (previously they worked fine)looking at the errors it seems to be something about the harddrive. Why the harddrive would stop the LiveCD booting is a mystery to me but the same messages appear when i select Recovery from the Grub menu so i guess the problem is related.

Ubuntu Installation :: Error On Boot "Read Error After Changing Motherboard Battery

Dec 2, 2010

I changed my motherboard battery last night, and now get "Read Error" on booting to Ubuntu, on dual boot system. This is the most frustrating thing in an otherwise great operating system. It is the second time I have encountered this issue (last time was a change of power supply). I fixed it last time after three days of re-loading Grub2 and playing around Grub 2 updates, etc. Fixed it eventually, but as usual, no idea of what eventuality fixed it. I think I found a web page buried deep in the 'net, which talked about device.map. Do you think I can find it again - not yet - day 2 searching for the answer... This is what the grub script tells us:

Ubuntu Installation :: Xp And - Netbook Dual Boot - Error - Windows Boot Failed

Jul 8, 2010

I have a netbook running Windows XP as standard. There is also a recovery partition which came from the factory.

In the past I installed Ubuntu (I think 9.something) from USB key and all worked fine. However my XP became corrupted and I needed to do a repair on it. After this, Ubuntu became removed from the boot select menu.

Since then, Ubuntu has become updated to 10.04, which I now cannot install.

The Live CD tells me there is a "file IO error" and simply stops installation at around 70%.

I did manage to get into Ubuntu from a Live USB using Wubi. However when I chose to install Ubuntu to a Harddrive, the option to "install side by side" was missing.

After reading on the forums, I did a chkdsk /f on Windows and tried again. Now my liveUSB does not show a boot menu!

When I select to boot from USB stick, the screen goes blank with a flashing cursor. Ctrl+alt+dlt reboots.

I'm really lost here! It seems when I fix one problem, another problem arises!

Also when trying to instal Ubuntu within Windows, the process goes through to 100% and asks me to reboot. When I do so, the option for Ubuntu does show in the boot menu. However when I select it, I get an error "Windows boot failed: file wubildr.mbr and status: 0xc00000f - something is corrupt".

Ubuntu Installation :: Boot From USB Stops At Copyright Line During Boot, No Error?

Aug 30, 2010

I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a computer with Vista SP2, my BIOS supports booting from a USB drive. Ive used unetbootin and Universal USB installer to setup the ISO on the drive, as well as trying Ubuntu version 10.04 and 9.10. The problem is that during the boot it stops at a line reading "SYSLINUX 3.86 2010-04-01 CBIOS Copyright ...", no error messages, it doesn't appear to be frozen as there is a blinking cursor under this line. The boot performs normally up to this point, it happens when, during a normal boot to vista, it says "boot from CD/DVD" then loads windows.It shouldn't be a hardware issue, the computer is pretty new, and I had an older version of Ubuntu install on it temporarily.

Ubuntu Installation :: Boot Error / Failed To Find Boot Disk

Sep 1, 2010

I had a a problem booting last night when my laptop battery came loose and caused a crash during boot.It ceased loading a daemon and I turned it off with the power switch, then I received the boot error,then i checked the linuxdrives directory and it was corrupt,I then, out of ignorance, ran wubi from within windows XP and said unistall believing that it would reinstall and fix itself.Thus you can see my green behaviour.I have been searching the threads and have tried many things but have had no success, I will suffer a great loss if I lose that load of Ubuntu as I have allot of work stored there, and in my Thunderbird accounts.

Ubuntu Installation :: Error On Boot - Read Error

I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04LTS however when I attempt to boot the HDD I get the following error message

Thats it nothing else, I am able to boot a USB installed version of Ubuntu 10.04LTS no proble. I can boot a Live CD of the same version no problem but when I installed it to the hard drive it just seems to fall over. I've tried adjusting the boot order, putting the HDD first and removing everything else but no joy. Im a linux n00b so no idea what to do next apart from go back to windows.

Fedora Installation :: F12 LiveCD Does Not Boot - Error "error:[drm:drm_mode_rmfb] *ERROR* Tried To Remove A Fb That We Didn't Own"

Dec 14, 2009

Make: Fujitsu-Siemens
Model: LifeBook P7120

For some reason (hardware - I am guessing) the LiveCD does not boot on some laptops. The LiveCD worked well on my Dell Inspiron 1525 without any problems but my Fujitsu-Siemens refused to boot up. If you are trying to install or use F12 with the LiveCD ISO image burnt onto a CD on a laptop and fails with the following error:[drm:drm_mode_rmfb] *ERROR* tried to remove a fb that we didn't own Boot has failed, sleeping foreverthis workaround may work for you. Sometimes it will come up with another error about 'Root Device Not Found'

The workaround only works on a bootable USB key for some other reason, created with 'live-usb creator' and not a CD nor a LiveCD image on a USB created on a windows machine. I have tried them all.

OpenSUSE Install :: 128 Gb Boot Error / Installation Froze At 92% And After The Laptop Wouldn't Boot?

Nov 23, 2010

I tried to install 11.3 on my acer aspire 7530 notebook to have dual boot with xp.

I made 4 partitions: one for xp, and the three for linux were made automatically.Before installation I got the warning that the partition wasn't entirely below 128 gb, I installed anyway to give it a try.

The installation froze at 92% and after the laptop wouldn't boot.

Now I've formatted the hard disk and installed windows on a partition leaving a free un formatted partition of 100 gb.

Installation :: Boot Error Kernel Panic Can`t Boot Cdusb

Sep 2, 2010

i used dual boot system (xp + ubuntu 10.04) and decided to replace them with jolicloud os and then it started In about 86% of jolicloud install it showed me error of hdd partition. I tried different versions of partion type, used also option to install on entire hdd - none of my tries actually worked (also with many hdd formating tries) so I was able to use only usb as live user for Jolicloud, and i burned ubuntu iso on disk - on boot up showed boot up error, i checked BIOS and everything seemed to be ok with boot order. So after many tries i took my old Gutsy Gibon 7.10 live cd. I first updated it with LTS version (8.04 Hardy Heron) and after that I updated it to 10.04 but it seemed to not finish when i saw some error in terminal and installer was exiting 13 minutes before finish then it had kernel panic - fuuuuck! After that i tried to download small versions of linux like Austrumi and puppy linux , but it showed me boot error or cd didnt even open install dialog without showing boot error.

Software :: GRUB When Cloning Machine - Error: "An Error Occurred During Boot Loader Installation"

Feb 13, 2010

I used proprietary software (acronis trueimage) to clone an Opensuse 11.1 machine, onto another machine with somewhat distinct hardware (different motherboard, less memory). I expected to have to change entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst, /etc/fstab, etc. I was told a good way to do this was to use the Opensuse DVD's "repair installed system" feature.

When I ran the repair, I was informed that "bootloader configuration file contains errors". I attempted to re-install the bootloader, but received this unhelpful error: "An error occurred during boot loader installation. Retry boot loader configuration?". When I boot the system, I just see the text "GRUB ", followed by a flashing underscore character.

Ubuntu Installation :: I/O Error On Boot From CD?

May 23, 2010

I've used 32-Bit Linux OS's. Keep it simple and make sure everything works. Recently I've felt like switching over to 64-bit. I know my CPU supports 64 bit because I have windows 7 (64) installed and it works flawlessly.

My issue is after downloading and burning the 9.10 amd64 ISO, when I hit "Install Ubuntu" I get "I/O Error Reading Boot CD" and the error code "R42AAEF" at the top left and top-middle of my screen.

I know the CD is fine because just a few days ago I used the same CD to install 9.10 32-bit on a friend's laptop and he's had no issues.

MD5sum and "Verify Local Data" Through BitTorrent both came back to be 100% stable and authentic.

If anyone has any more ideas I'd love to hear them, if it matters, my CPU is an AMD Athlon II x4

Ubuntu :: Boot Error From USB Installation?

I recently installed Ubuntu onto a USB drive and it was working perfectly. Today I tried booting from it like usual and it hung on the splash screen with the 4 little dots. I hit F8 to see what was going on and saw this:

I made sure that the drive had been removed safely from windows and that my hard drive had been correctly unmounted when windows shut down. I really need to get this working because it has some code on it that I was developing that I need to finish since it's due soon.

Ubuntu Installation :: Boot Error From USB?

Mar 23, 2011

I'm not sure this is an Ubuntu problem but hopefully you people can help me out. I built a system based on a Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H, AMD Phenom II x6, 16GB RAM and 1.5TB SATA hard drive. No CD/DVD. I put Lucid 10.04 LTS on a USB stick and loaded it just fine it was upgraded to Maverick. I want to test Natty and have plenty of disk space left for a Natty partition. My problem is when I try to boot from a USB memory stick, I get a BIOS message "Loading Operating System" then "Boot Error". No other information.

I've tried almost everything I can think of. multiple version of the iso. lately I've only been using AMD64 desktop but after I get done with the "I've tried everything" post I'll try 32 bit and a server. Oh yeah these iso's do work in Virtual Box I've used multiple memory sticks 1GB and 16GB I've tried UNetBootin and Start-up disk creator The sticks work in my laptop (well get to the try live cd or load) If I boot in Maverick md5sum confirms the files on the cd. I've tried all the bios settings I can think might have something to do with it. The have to do with legacy USB support. I've tried creating the startup USB on my laptop and using Maverick on the system in question I'm grasping at straws,

Fedora Installation :: Can't Boot Into New F15 Installation - Padlock_sha Error

May 27, 2011

Trying to give Fedora a proper trial by installing it on my main machine's hard drive. I tested the Live CD from a USB drive for a while and really liked it. Fedora is the first distro that I've tried that does Gnome Shell justice.

I haven't been able to get it to work on my system so far, however.

Some context: I have a triple-boot laptop (Windows 7, Debian, and now Fedora 15) with 4 physical partitions (True Crypt-encrypted W7, LUKS-encrypted Debian, LUKS-encrypted F15, and a boot partition). The True Crypt boot loader is on the MBR, and when I press Esc I get the Grub boot loader from the boot partition. This has worked well for me in the past, but something is awry now.

When I installed F15, I did not opt to install a boot loader (because I didn't want to have trouble getting into my other systems, which has happened to me before). Instead I booted up into Debian and ran update-grub, which found the Fedora partition and added an entry to Grub. I'm not sure whether that entry is correct, however, but editing it has not solved my problem.

When I choose the Fedora entry from Grub, it starts to boot and asks for the password to mount the partition. Shortly afterwards, however, it throws the following error: modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting padlock_sha (/lib/modules/kernel-name-here/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-sha.ko): No such device

Then it drops down to a shell and I can't do much from there.

I've tried blacklisting padlock-sha, but that doesn't make the error go away or get it to boot up.
