Ubuntu :: /dev/sda1 Or UUID Xxxxxxx Not Found After Upgrade To 10.04 From 9.10
May 28, 2010
I was upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 and now my HDD can't boot at all to the 2.6.34-rc6 kernel, I get dumped to the busybox shell, and when I select the 2.6.30.9 I get "The hard drive for / is not ready or not present."
I can see the drive fine with fdisk -l, /dev/sda1 is my HDD, but when booting something isn't working right. Also, is there a way to make GRUB 2 automatically show the menu so I don't have to hold down the shift key?

I have a Netbook Remix install on an SD card that won't boot. Grub2 in the recovery mode shows it fails finding the root files by using UUID. It's my first Grub2 install and I'm not sure how to go about debugging it. The machine boots the same version from a USB stick.

I'm having some trouble with one of my system harddisks. It sometimes works without problems, but is not mounted on other occasions. Even when it's mounted, it's working extremely slow and programs using files from it may crash. On other occasions, however, there are no problems at all. If it's not automounted, I may be able to mount it manually but it sometimes shows "UUID not found". If has a lot of SMART errors:

I installed 9.04 then tried to upgrade to 9.10 and it froze so I had to reboot. Since then I have not been able to re-install 9.04 or see my partition. Everytime I try to reinstall it says and shows that it can't find the partition like there isn't a hard drive installed.

So today I decided I would upgrade my computer to 10.10 from 10.04. Everything was going great until after the restart. As the title suggests, when booting I get the message "error: the symbol 'grub_xputs' not found." and a grub rescue shell.From this shell, is there anyway that I can load Ubuntu so I can reinstall grub, or do whatever needs to be done? Unfortunately booting to a livecd does not seem to be much of an optiEDIT: After not finding anything I eventually gave up and took a dvd-rom drive out of another computer to get into the live cd and was able to solve the problem through there using kansasnoob's linked solution, so I guess my problem is solved, but only by changing the conditions of the problem.

I was given a computer that has the Ubuntu operating system installed I was able to at least get online with it. I tried to upgrade it (don't know what version was installed on it) using the Update Manager. When the computer restarted I got two error messages:
Error no suitable mode found
Error unknown command "terminal"
The system then went on through the Ubuntu logo screen but then I got a black screen. I couldn't get the computer to do anything. How to at least restore the computer back to its previous state before trying to upgrade.

Can not boot after upgrade - file not found 'loadfont' I have a 10.04 system that I installed the update for. Instead of doing the restart now option I choose to do a shutdown and upon a reboot I get an error and can not boot into Ubuntu.
The error I get is: file not found 'loadfont' unknown command And I get into an endless cycle of it if I try to boot into Ubuntu..can boot into windows fine as this is an Wubi install. Does anyone have a fix for me? This is on a work computer and I need a fix immediately. I have read about the Wubi issues with 10.10 but this is 10.04 not 10.10...?

I performed the Fedora 15 Upgrade from Fedora 14 which worked fine except when I reboot the system does not find Fedora 15 i.e. I see the Fedora 14 Kernel and not the Fedora 15 Kernel in the reboot sequence.

I used pre upgrade command then executed the upgrade (it took more than 4 hours) and I had a success message at the end saying that I have now to reboot. But now I have no more Xorg working, and I had to boot from the live CD to mount the LVM disk to report this problem (thanks to the live CD).
Looking at the Xorg.0.log the reported error is:
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01@00:00:0
The PCI device has a kernel module claiming it.
This driver cannot operate until it has been unloaded
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
How I must do now to get back Xorg? Check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. I tried to remove and re-install Xorg, without success. Then I installed kmod-nvidia and executed nvidia-xconfig. The log says that I have to configure the kernel without nvidiafb support, but I don't know how to do it, and even if it is a good idea. I noticed that if I remove the /etc/X11/xorg** files, I can use startx but no much more.

done 11.4 update from DVD on my two laptops and I'm trying to do my home machine now.Problem is that the DVD update does not find any repos. I told the update system to set up wired network using DHCP and everything seems OK, when I check the box to use separate media during installation the system won't find any community repositories and when I specify URL it simlply won't connect to the repo. As for as I can tell there is a connection to the internet, but maybe not

have recently upgraded Slackware/Salix 13.0 to 13.1 and it all went smooth except for one problem with the mixer which apparently cannot be found. Only OSS card is seen in Xfce mixer, and OSS works, but no alsa card.I have a Via82xx onboard chip and a SB Audigy 1 [SB0092], Emu10K1. Via was set up with an alias as the first to load. All this worked perfectly in 13.0. Now aplay gives the following message:Quote:
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768: (parse_card) cannot find card 'Audigy'
ALSA lib conf.c:4154: (_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device

I'm using Slackware current. I've updated my current after about two months from the last update, and since there was a huge number of changes I'm having some problems. In particular, I've forgot (my fault!) to give a "slackpkg install-new" before rebooting, so now I'm getting stuck...
Installpkg now claims a "rev" command, but I cannot figure how to find it, since the Slackware package browser on the website is still broken (when will it be available?!?!). Now, each time I try to install or upgrade a new package, I get this error:
/sbin/upgradepkg: line 41: rev: command not found
/sbin/installpkg: line 59: rev: command not found
Where can I find the package containing "rev"?

Usually if I want to do a fresh install I just wipe the disk, but this time I really want to keep my home partition and overcome a libwnck bug that can only be beaten with a fresh installation.
So I need to completely replace 10.04 on partition 1 (root) and link it to partition 2 (home). How do I do this?

This is a problem about linux-kernel-3.16-0-4-amd64 and LVM, I guess. I decided to write this here in case other users who installed their debian system with encryption enabled experience this problem with a recent kernel upgrade.
I use debian jessie. Today I gave the command:
Code: Select allapt-get upgrade
There was a linux-kernel upgrade to 3.16-0-4-amd64 among other packages to be upgraded.
After this upgrade my computer cannot boot anymore.
I get following error:
Code: Select allVolume group "ert-debian-vg" not found.
Skipping volume group "ert-debian-vg"
Unable to find LVM "volume ert-debian-vg/root"
Volume group "ert-debian-vg" not found
Skipping volume group "ert-debian-vg"
Unable to find LVM "volume ert-debian-vg/swap_1"
Please unlock disk sd3_crypt:
And it does not accept my password.
I used rescue environment on debian jessie netinst iso and decrypted the partition and took a backup of my /home. Now I have not much to lose if I reinstall my system but I still want to fix this problem if possible.
I have reinstalled the kernel using debian jessie netinst rescue iso but nothing changed.
I have Timeshift snapshots located at /home/Timeshift but timeshift --rescue command cannot find a backup device, it sees the device as crypted. If I could restore a snapshot it would be very easy to go back in time and get rid of this problem. It would not be a real solution, however.
There is not any old kernel option in GRUB menu. So removing the latest one does not seem as an option.

I just tried installing another version of libc6 (2.10.2-6) with kpackage. It didn't work so I had a broken package on my system. I then wanted to fix it with synaptic package manager which then told me in order to remove it, I had to pretty much uninstall all of linux. I then tried installing the older version of libc6 (the one I'm supposed to have: 2.7-18lenny2). That gave me the error code
dpkg -i '///home/sam/torrents/libc6_2.7-18lenny2_i386.deb' ;echo RESULT=$?
dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH.
dpkg: 1 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin.
RESULT=2
I already checked my path and it was: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin (I found it with echo $PATH)
I guess my path is okay so the problem is in ldconfig but how can I get ldconfig in the path and where could it be now?

I turned on my laptop today and noticed a load of unfamiliar startup text so I knew something was wrong. Now whenever I startup my laptop, GRUB loads fine but when I try to start Ubuntu it says the following:
Quote:
mount : mounting /dev on /root/dev failed : No such file or directory
mount : mounting /sys on /root/sys failed : No such file or directory
mount : mounting /proc on /root/proc failed : No such file or directory
[code]....
so all I'm left with is this BusyBox command prompt. I'm on a live Ubuntu CD right now and if I try to mount /dev/sda1 either in the terminal (with the mount command) or with the GUI it just gets stuck.
Quote:
This will provide you with a list of your drives and partitions, you need to pick the one that your root file system is installed to, it will be something like /dev/sda1 but in my case I can't even mount /dev/sda1. When I run sudo fdisk -l heres what I get
Quote:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
[code]...
thats weird because I rebooted with a live Ubuntu CD and didn't even try to mount /dev/sda1 this time. The instructions were to then try to mount the drive from the GUI so heres what happens when I do that: it attempted to mount it for about a minute then gave me this error message When I tried again heres the error it gave me The problem seems to be that /dev/sda1 can't be mounted for some reason.
I don't know what that error message means and I don't know what else I can do to further diagnose /dev/sda1 and find out why it can't be mounted. Ordinarily I'd just reinstall Ubuntu but I have a couple of lab reports that I had saved on that partition so I'm in trouble if I can't figure out how to access the partition.
EDIT: At the end of that other thread someone recommends to use testdisk to recover the data from the partition. All I really need to do is get those lab reports back but I had them saved inside a Windows 7 guest on Virtual Box. Will this complicate matters a lot for me?
UPDATE: I tried to reinstall Ubuntu and it wouldn't work. Seems this is a bigger problem than I suspected. Does this mean my harddrive is corrupted? I can still use the Windows 7 partition but I take it that the Ubuntu installer not working is a bad sign.

I'm a long time Linux user. Finally got around to upgrading my Fedora 11 system to Fedora 12 by using the 'preupgrade' tool. The upgrade appeared to go well (downloaded packages, rebooted into installer, etc). However, now that the upgrade is complete, I'm unable to boot my system.
Here's my configuration:
/dev/sda (80Gb)
200Mb /boot partition (ext3)
52Gb / partition (ext4 - managed as logical volume)
2Gb swap partition (managed as logical volume)
20Gb /spare partition (ext3 - managed as logical volume) .....
All worked fine under Fedora 11 for the last few months. Grub now presents me with 'Fedora' and 'Windows XP' boot options. The /boot/grub/menu.lst file is essentially the same as it was for Fedora 11, except for the different kernel versions, etc. The boot sequence shows the Fedora bubble (??) and gets about 80% full when the screen goes black and the message displayed is:
No root device found
Boot has failed, sleeping forever
If I boot Windows, all works fine.
Am able to boot using a SystemRescueCD disk. The disks all look okay and I can mount/modify all partitions, etc. The grub menu.lst file read as follows (sorry, typed in, not copied):
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE)
root (hd0,0) .....

I'm setting up my menu.lst for GRUB Legacy (downgraded from GRUB2 in 9.10) and I'm just having difficulty getting my head around converting the /dev/sda1, sda2 etc to hd(0,0), (0,1).
My partitions are as follows:
sda1 = Windows XP (ntfs primary partition)
sda2 = Windows Vista (ntfs primary partition)
sda3 = Linux boot (small ext2 primary partition)
sda4 = extended partition
sda5 = Windows XP second different installation (ntfs logical partition)
sda6 = Ubuntu 9.10 root (ext3 logical partition)
sda7 = linux-swap (swap logical partition)
As I said, I am trying to set these up in GRUB, but cannot work out what all the hd(0,x) equivalents are. I *thought* it was just a case of subtracting 1 from the sdax number, but it doesn't appear to be that way.
