Ubuntu :: Unconfigured Updates (will Not Boot)?
Apr 10, 2010
I Installed Ubuntu 9.10 yesterday on a new machine. I started the update manager before I went to bed, (over 300mb's of updates) This morning the computer was unresponsive to get the monitor to come out of sleep. Was forced to power down. I imagine it was at a point of configuring one of the first updates. Now when I try to boot this is what I get......
udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured.
udevadm settle is not permitted while udev is unconfigured.
svgalib: cannot open /dev/mem.
how to go about configuring?

I just performed an update thru the Update Manager, & on re-boot got this message: ( Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-24-386 ) udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured. Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems :
- Boot args ( cat /proc/cmdline )
- Check root delay= ( did the system wait long enough? )
- Check root= ( did the system wait for the right device? )
- missing modules ( cat /proc/modules; ls /dev )
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/df0200e3-e6e9-439a-922f-100d92af0c58 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!. BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built in shell (ash) (initramfs)_ Info: I can boot into older version: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-23-386. The Update Manager does not seem to want to show any updates that are available.

when I update the ubuntu, I set it shutdown after 60 minutes uisng "sudo shutdown 60",because I think the update will complete in 40 minute. However today when I start the computer, it can not startup the ubuntu. I got a screen which sown the message in the title,after I search it using google, some people have encounted this proble, their solve way is to use a live cd to chroot to the old root and complete the update.
However I can not. The following is my suitation:
http://imagebin.org/87841 my command
http://imagebin.org/87840 my partition

I'm having a bit of a nightmare with my ubuntu hardy server (using hardware raid 1+0). Following a power cut I get the message "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured" on boot. Before the power cut the server had been up for ~450 days.
I managed to get access to /boot (which was empty) by using the repair option on the alternate cd and mounting /dev/myserver/root. I've installed the packages linux-headers-server, linux-image-server and linux-server. The various 2.6.24-29 files were installed and update-initramfs was automatically run (I noticed others have used update-initramfs to solve this error when upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04 in some posts I've read). No luck with this though - just the same error booting. I've also tried reinstalling udev, but again with no success.
I rebooted and pressed the Esc key to get the boot menu up. Only options were for kernel 2.6.24-26 (rather than the 2.6.24-29 just installed). I ran the recovery option anyway and got "/dev/mapper/myserver-root does not exist".

I tried to update my fully-working 64-bit 11.1 system to 11.2. I used the network install and chose the Update option. It took a few hours so I didn't sit through the entire installation but when I returned the 11.2 login screen was displayed. Having logged in, however, I found that I couldn't access the network.The boot log showed that network had failed to start. "ifconfig" lists only the "lo" interface. "ifstatus eth0" returns "Interface eth0 is not available"
Network Settings in YaST lists 2 entries in the Overview tab. The first entry has Name:"NetXtreme BCM5755 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express" and IP Address: "Not configured".The detail pane for this entry shows "NetXtreme BCM5755 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (Not connected) BusID:0000:3f00.0 Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device (eth0, wlan0) is not present. This is mostly caused by missing firmware (for wlan devices). See dmesg output for details". The Edit and Delete buttons are both disabled for this entry.
The second entry has exactly the same name as the first with the IP Address listed as "DHCP4". I assume this was the entry that was carried over from the 11.1 system. The detail pane for this entry shows "NetXtreme BCM5755 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (No hwinfo) Device Name: eth0. Started automatically at boot. IP address assigned using DHCP4". The Edit and Delete buttons are both enabled for this entry.lspci reports "3f:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)"
lsmod lists only "edd", "loop", "sr_mod", "sg", "cdrom" and "dm_mod".
The files in /etc/sysconfig/network/ are "if-down.d/", "if-up.d/", "providers/", "scripts/", "config", "dhcp", "ifcfg-eth0", "ifcfg-lo", "ifcfg.template", "ifroute-lo",

There is a cable plugged in to the second network card, but that interface is not configured. I'm getting a lotof "martian source" alerts because of this.If the interface eth1 isn't started because it isn't configured, why am I getting these messages?

I've been having a problem on my AMD based machine, 4cpu, gigabyte ga-ma78gm-s2h Mobo, 8GB mem, two 2 terabyte Sata HDs.One thing I've found is that any kernel after 2.6.32-17 has a randomness at boot time whether the system will completely boot or not.
For instance just today I downloaded and installed 2.6.32-24
It fails to boot (I've tried cold boot, warm boot).Running its repair also fails to completely boot.My experience is that if I keep trying it "may" eventually boot but I believe there was some change after 2.6.32-17-generic that's causing the problem.Because as with 2.6.32.23... which also fails to complete bootup many times... eventually my guess is that 2.6.32.24 will also boot "sometimes".But why does 2.6.32.17 always boot for me? Something changed and its not my setup.

After running 9.04 for a year, I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and then to 10.04 using Update Manager. My Dell computer crashed several times during the upgrade to 10.04. I restarted each time from a recovery version of 10.04, and eventually the upgrade was completed. As far as I can tell after a few days, everything I normally use seems to be working. However, when I add a package with Synaptic I get the error message below. Is the message significant? Do I need to address each error?

I have Ubuntu 10.4 Netbook remix installed on an Acer Aspire one netbook. I just did about 200MB of updates and now it won't boot into Ubuntu. It is a Wubi installation. When I try to boot into ubuntu I get the following:
First a couple of references to drives flash on the screen,
Then I get a text screen with the following:
Error: unknown command: loadfont
Error: file not found
Then after a few seconds the screen goes blank.I would like to recover the installation or at least recover the files on the 'linux partition' (altho it is not really a partition but a file as it is a wubi install)Can I access it (the data) via a liveCD/USB boot sufficiently to either repair the installation or copy off the data?

I am running a dual boot system - Ubuntu / Win. XPI installed the security updates in Ubuntu and followed the prompt to restart the computer. Now I can't boot into Ubuntu. When I try, the machine simply restarts. I can still log into windows just fine, but Ubuntu won't load no matter how many times I try.

I am having a dual boot with Windows 7 OS(64 bit) and Ubuntu 10.10. I installed Ubuntu through Wubi installer from my Windows 7. Usually when I start my computer it first shows my Windows Boot Manager screen. It shows a menu with 2 options Windows 7 and Ubuntu. For getting into Windows 7 I need to choose the first option. For booting into Ubuntu I need to choose the 2nd option i.e Ubuntu. And then it would show me a Grub boot menu with the options being different kernel versions and recovery modes etc. The latest I had was some 2.6.26 version.
I recently did a package update with update-manager. After the update I am not able to boot into Ubuntu. After the Windows boot manager screen it takes me to a screen that says something like
Try (hd0, 0): NTFS5: No wubuildr
Try (hd0, 1): NTFS5: No wubuildr
Try (hd0, 2): NTFS5:
After this the screen turns into full white and then it automatically reboots! It doesn't take me to the Grub menu! It happens quite fast that to even read the above 3 lines it took to try booting a number of times!
One thing I noticed in the package update was that grub was one of the updated packages. Another thing is that in my Windows 7 in c: directory there is a file called wubuildr whose creation time is almost the same time as when the package update happened. There is also a wubuildr.mbr but it's creation and last modification times are much older. But then I am clueless as to what is the purpose of the file and so I am not sure how to use it to fix this problem if possible.
Also through ext2explore program from Windows 7 I could copy the /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /var/log/dpkg.log files. I have attached grub.cfg and dpkg.log with .txt extensions. In the dpkg.log file that I attached I just removed all lines except those containing "upgrade" so that it wouldn't be too long a file and you can easily see just what packages were upgraded.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 but I can only use Windows 7 now (I hate it). Here's why: when I go to the boot screen and I am given the choice of using Windows 7 or Ubuntu and I select Ubuntu, the screen goes black and says:
error: unknown command 'loadfont' error: file not found
Then I have to reset my laptop and use Windows 7. This happened when I was using Ubuntu like I usually did and I downloaded recommended updates from Ubuntu. I downloaded them and I was asked to reset my laptop for it to be effective. I did and when the boot screen came up it said what it says above. I can't even get to the login screen. I've been searching everywhere for an answer.

Ive poked around the forums a bit and cant see anything that addresses this. I have a new install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Netbook remix on an Acer Aspire one. (From a couple of hours ago.) It was able to boot all the way up once. Now after a restart it hangs after selecting Ubuntu from the GRUB menu. If I launch using Recovery mode it gets to a line 2.302026 ata4: Dummy and then hangs. I can boot with the live CD and access the partition that ubuntu is on. I can also boot into windows 7 starter (Blech) from the grub menu. (It is a relatives netbookThey want to try Ubuntu but keep W7 intact.)
I am at a loss of what to do, I would like to simply re-install it again to replace whatever did not get setup right, but I think it will just make a new partition and get really messy.

I have a dual boot system (Compaq Presario CQ61) with Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed. A while back I updated my Ubuntu system to the 11.04. All went smoothly. Then recently, when the system prompted me, I installed some updates. Since then when I try to boot into Ubuntu I end up at a CLI with (initramfs) as the prompt.I can still successfully boot off of the Windows 7 partition.After reading a lot of articles describing similar problems, and failing to find a fix, I reinstalled 11.04.The system came up without any problems. BUT then, as usual, the system prompted me to install updates. Once I was done installing them and rebooted the computer I was back at the (initramfs) prompt.

I have an alienware m17 with an Ati graphics card. I was able to log on and install all current updates as well as the card driver update where I was then prompted to restart. Upon doing so, I get the grub loading plus splash screen. My screen then goes blank followed by a noise in my laptop. I have tried nomodeset as well as taking out splash nothing has worked. Also, upon booting up I get lucky if I can get into Recovery mode.

I'm remote from my system and so have to wait 2-3 days before I can get access directly, but I've noticed that when the kernel updates automatically (or forced by me), the next reboot stops at the grub page awaiting confirmation of the kernel I want to boot. grub.conf doesnt seem significantly different from that of fedora (my previos distro for this machine) and even has the default lines and times spec'd, so I can't see what's holding it up. Any ideas how I can prevent this so I can have my system auto-updating the kernel AND safe to reboot remotely?

Recently downloaded 10.04 I've just installed to a spare hard drive. The problem I have is after I do the latest system updates to Ubuntu my windows 7 selection disappears from the boot menu. It's there straight after the install. The only way I got it back was to re install ubuntu. Currently I'm not using Ubuntu as I don't want to lose the windows 7 selection again and have to re install. Has anyone seen this problem before and any advise on what I should do to ensure I can still select windows 7 from the boot menu after I update ubuntu.

I've got 10.4.1(rev190?) installed in what I guess is Wubi and have been running dual boot for a couple of weeks now. My other OS is XP. I recently ran the updater then shut the computer down for a week. I can't remember now if I had to restart to complete any updates or not but my laptop battery is fried so once I unplugged it after it completed shutdown all power was removed from the system for 9 days. Today I tried to boot Ubuntu and after I chose it from the boot menu it flashed some sort of message about WUBILDR really quick (I wasn't able to read it all) then went through its normal boot until the Ubuntu splash screen where one dot went red and the system hung.
I allowed it a good 15 minutes to see if it would unhang but no dice. It boots fine on XP. Any advice? I'm reading the Wubi Megathread right now but as I'm new to Ubuntu I figured I'd check to see if anyone else experienced these particular problems here, too. Right now I'm going to download the Ubuntu installer to a disk to try some of the Megathread troubleshooting.

I'm currently running Karmic 9.10 in dual boot with Windows 2000. My computer has automatically updated and installed kernels 2.6.31-17, -19 and -20 (They show up in Synaptic as installed).
However, the newest kernel choice in my GRUB menu is 2.6.31-16-generic (followed by -15 and -14). These all start without any errors.
Question: Why haven't the newer updates shown up in GRUB for booting purposes?
Could it be a question that I didn't answer correctly some time back about accepting or not accepting an update or change in GRUB?
How can this be changed? The new kernels do not show up in Start-Up Manager either.

Basically, I cannot load 10.04 without 'nomodeset' being set in the boot line. Is there a way to make GRUB2 append this to every entry automatically?
Can I change the entry I have now somehow? Not a fan of GRUB2 so far here.

A few weeks ago I did a WUBI 10.04 LTS install on a Windows XP desktop that went perfect. System ran great until this morning. I was prompted to install "Security Updates", which I allowed the system to do, but thereafter was unable to boot. What happens is at the point of selecting either Windows or Ubuntu for booting, and I choose Ubuntu, the computer goes right back into a re-boot process and brings me back to the Windows/Ubuntu boot selection prompt. It doesn't even bring me into the secondary boot level of asking which type of Ubuntu boot I want (generic, etc.). Is there a solution for this problem besides reinstalling Ubuntu?

I've installed Lubuntu alongside my existing Windows XP installation. The menu came up on boot allowing me to boot into either Lubuntu or XP. But, after I install all the Lubuntu updates and restart, the option to boot into XP is gone. The boot menu comes up, but no XP option. I reinstalled Lubuntu again with the same results: after the updates, no XP option. I'm thinking I will reinstall Lubuntu again, and before I run the updates, I will make a copy of grub.cfg for later reference so I can add the XP section in again- am I on the right track here?
