Argh! I tried to upgrade and from Feisty to Gutsy yesterday and it's broken my install! 
If I try booting the newest kernal in my GRUB list:
7.10 kernal 2.6.22-14-386
I get a never ending error message:
device mapper linear: dm-linear device lookup up failed 254:1
That seems to be a known issue after googling around. If I use the next kernal down the list:
7.10 kernal 2.6.20-16-386
I get:
mdadm: No devices listed in the conf file were found
Then the prompt appears, if I try and start X I can't. It shows these error messages:
Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist)
Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist)
Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist)
What should I do?
I'm quite keen to fix my current install and I'm guessing I will have more luck with the second kernal. I'd like to avoid a complete reinstall as setting up the wifi and the propietry NVidia drivers is laborious.
I was happy with my Feisty install... can never leave well enough alone...
