View 1 RepliesOver the past few days I have been trying to install an older kernel (kernel 2.6.28.1) on ubuntu 9.10 64-bit WUBI installation. I compiled, installed, and updated my grub for the kernel. When I reboot, the grub menu correctly gives me the option of booting into the older kernel but when I do so I receive the following error message:
error: you need to load the linux kernel first.
I am at a complete loss on how to fix this. I even downgraded grub but I still get the same error.
I decided I wanted to give ubuntu a go by installing it on a 4GB USB drive.
I installed it using this guide url.
I booted up and it hung on the 'mounting file system', I left it for ages and eventually it goes to a black screen and prints out an error message, I can't type anything on my keyboard.
I need to know I/O stats per process. When executed dstat give the bellow error message.
dstat -M topio -d -M topbio
Module topio failed to load. (No module named dstat_topio)
Module topbio failed to load. (No module named dstat_topbio)
CentOS release 5.3 (Final)
uname -r => 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5
How to resolve the above error message
I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a flash drive and everytime I try to do an update I get the following error message:
Code:
Setting up linux-image-2.6.32-33-generic (2.6.32-33.72) ...

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-33-generic
lzma: Encoder error: -2147467259
Failed to create initrd image.
[Code]...
also, I would like to know if I want to make clones of the flash drive, would a copy and paste suffice or do i need to use some cloning software? I have followed the instructions on ubuntu wiki to make my casper-rw larger than 4GB by making it an ext4 partition.
Well after a power failure yesterday this is what I get:
Grub loads with 4 options ....
Choose to load Ubuntu I get ...

I have windows xp and now I have installed UBUNTU 9.10. When my laptop starts it comes up with the option of Windows Xp and Ubuntu. Selecting windows xp works fine here but Selecting UBUNTU comes up with another screen giving three options.
1. UBUNTU
2. UBUNTU recovery and
3. Windows Xp
Selecting any of the above doesnt work here. With option 1 & 2 it gives the error message
error: you need to load the kernel first
I am totally new to this UBUNTU.
I've finally gotten around to installing Ubuntu 10.10. I currently have it installed on on a 320GB HDD. It's the 64bit. I also have Windows 7 x64 on a 1TB HDD. After I installed it, I keeping getting "Error: You Need To Load the Kernel First." Windows 7 boots up fine, but Ubuntu doesn't. I'm almost completely new to Ubuntu so I don't know how I would go about fixing this.

acpiphp_ibm: ibm_acpiphp_init: acpi_walk_namespace failed
It looks that something is wrong with my acpi subsystem's configuration. But no matter How I reconfig it, this message still occurs.
My distribution is UBUNTU 10.04 LTS
original kernel with the distribution is 2.6.32
My own kernel is 2.6.35
After CentOS5.3 install to /sdb7 partition (on 2nd HD) and using Ubuntu Grub(on 1st HD mbr) to boot CentOS, I get "memory for crash kernel 0x0 to 0x0 not within permissible range" as soon as CentOS starts. I have 2G of ram. The message is on every boot. I've had several other linuxes on that partition without such an error message. Otherwise the OS starts fine. Is the message of concern/import?

CURRENTLY I also have Backtrack 4, and Fedora 12 (Ugh!).Previously, I thought something was wrong with my my filesystem in Ubuntu 9.10, and after an upgrade of the linux kernel, I started to get Error: You need to load the Kernel First. That's where my problems started. I had upgraded to 9.10 from 9.04 and I still had Grub Legacy, so I went through hoops to try and get it to work, but eventually everything just kind of broke, and I completely wiped off my partitions on it and started fresh installs of all 3.
And now that the new linux kernel is released, 2.6.31-20 generic (I think... That's what the highest number on a file I can find in /boot is)I went through a few more hoops and ladders and tried to get it to work, but to no avail. I've looked the internet for a solution to this and tried just about everything but there is no unified answer, and I've seen on Launchpad there are alot of bugs that are classified as 'Fixed', but the problem still remains.I took out the 'quiet splash' part in the GRUB2 line for the newest kernel and it didn't do anything. It only changed it to "Error: Couldn't find file".This is the top two kernels (Main and Recovery for the new, and Main and Recovery for the previous working one)

I got a notification that there was an upgrade available today in ubuntu 9.10 64, after the update i restarted my system and while booting i encountered this error message:
Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown - block (8,17)
does this have something to do with the OS looking at the wrong hd?
theres no command prompt to actually do anything and i tried booting in safe mode and had the same problem. Let me know what i can do!
for the last few releases, starting with 9.04 i've been having serious crashing problems with the nvidia driver. whether i installed it manually using the latest drivers directly from nvidia, or installing them through the restricted driver option. after a few hours CRASH. it's been awful. and i tried everything from this side to the moon to fix this issue, all to no avail. no idea why i've even stayed with ubuntu after all these issues. came from the debian world back in 5.04, and almost moved back a few times. but i did a clean install of 10.04, and thought i'd give the nvidia driver one last chance... if it didn't work i'd be moving back home to debian (with the suspicion the issue would stay).
so after i tried the restricted driver and CRASH. nothing to fix it. then i thought ok i'll try to use the latest driver from nvidia. but ran into this error when installing it:
Quote: ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module nvidia.ko. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as rivafb/nvidiafb is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s), or NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is not supported by this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release. so after googling around i found a fix to this error i was getting during the install:
Quote: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
blacklist vga16fb
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist rivatv

I want to watch a certain video on [url]...., but I get an error message instead. Some videos can be played, so I'm thinking it's a form of restriction, but I can't be sure.I tried using a few proxies, but on some the error message persists and on others the video doesn't load. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and Firefox 3.5.8.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI updated the Ubuntu version 10.04.1. After updating the program it tells to restart the system. After restarting the system the following message appears:
error: can not read the linux header
error: you need to load the kernel first
I was about to do upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4.I was following the guide I found in opensuse's website. I was to the point where I had to disable all 11.3 repositories and add the 11.4 at that point I forgot to change my nvidia repository ( I have a g210m graphic card).
thus after the upgrade the X could not start at all. I think this was because Yast could not find the nvidia driver.
Using text mode YaSt2 I added the nvidia driver but after restart I can not see and X running. I receive an error message that the current kernel can not be loaded!!!
I also checked in command line if there is something like Sax2.. but I couldnot find anything.
I was trying to use Message Queues for sending message from aninserted kernel module to user space. The function sys_msgsnd failedgiving the obvious error -EFAULT.However, I was able to send the message from kernel to user space when I had made the same driver part of kernel (and not inserting it).How is that possible?I am using linux.2.6.19.x (arch=ppc)I now use Netlink socket to communicate from kernel to user, but the aboveproblem seemed strange to me.

I am having a Ubuntu nightmare. I am relatively new to the whole Linux thing. I just updated my Ubuntu from the update manager today and after I restarted I keep getting the following error: Error: You need to load kernel first.
My boot menu shows the following:
GNU Grub version: 1.97~Beta4
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-21-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-21-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-20-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-20-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic (recovery mode)
Windows 7 (loader) (on dev/sda1)
The only two that work are the last two. So I chose Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic and booted normally. From there I typed actionparsnip's suggested solution (which worked for other people on other versions): sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic As you see I suited actionparsnip's solution to my version. The command downloaded something and made some fixes/updates and everything and seemed to have worked fine.
The system asked me to reboot, and here I am stuck: Now the boot menue shows the grup prompt which seems like: Minimal BASH-like line editing supported... sh:grub> NOTES: I originally installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 using Wubi. I can paste the contents "wubildr.cfg" if this helps. I had to go back to my Windows 7 to post this.
I am using kubuntu karmic 9.10. Yesterday night I did installed/uninstalled various things and unfortunately something went wrong.
Now the boot menu shows 2.6.31-20 generic/recovery, 2.6.31-19 generic/recovery and one more including windows one in the last.
*ALL* of the menu options, including recovery ones are producing an error saying:
"You need to load the kernel first"
My skills are limited on linux domain and I installed kubuntu using disk image.

I installed bt4 alongside my windows and fedora13 partition, but my fedora won't boot after that, so I updated grub to 1.96, but still fedora13 won't boot, it displays the error, "You need to load the kernel first". When I try to boot fedora from grub command line, linux (hd0,6)/boot/<TAB> it does not show any entry, although my fedora partition is intact with vmlinuz and initramfs inside the /boot directory. BTW (hd0,6) is my fedora13 partition, file system on fedora13 is ext4, while on bt4 it is ext3.

I am an experienced Linux admin and have been using SuSE for many years. My development machine has had every version of SuSE since '02 and although it is a little old, is in good working order. (AMD
2400, 2 gig RAM, 160 Gig IDE disks - SuSE on disk 2) (OpenSuSE 11.1 with the latest kernel works perfectly. This install is on a spare HDD prior to doing a full install on my usual HDD.)
When I try to install SuSE 11.2 from DVD, the load kernel operation hangs at 97% (using both normal and safe kernel), however, I can install from live CD without any problem. I have tried the same DVD on a few "older" machines and had the same problem. I initially thought it was the actual DVD but re-burning has the same problem. I have also tried another DVD writer - same problem.
