    cant boot into latest kernel

    I'm very sorry about the long post but please bear with me here as i really want to give as much information as i can so here goes

    i tried to install gutsy after having had enough of w$ complications i used gparted to create my partitions and that all went fine, but when i tried to install gutsy from a live CD and an alternate CD i got the same complications and so many other users have had so i cheated i installed feisty and did an upgrade live from the alternate cd while in feisty, that all went fine we got it installed did all the updates and here is where my problem is....

    in my grub menu boot i have a few options to boot into and they are as follows

    Ubuntu, 7.10, Kernel 2.6.22-14
    Ubuntu, 7.10, Kernel 2.6.22-14 (recovery mode)
    Ubuntu, 7.10, Kernel 2.6.20-15
    Ubuntu, 7.10, Kernel 2.6.20-15 (recovery mode)
    memtest
    other installation windows xp

    now i can boot just fine into 20-15 but when i try to boot into 22-14 the loading bar on the Kubuntu page wont even move no matter how long i leave it for, and if i boot into 22-14 recovery mode it gets to a certain part a hangs it reads as follows

    booting in to generic 2.6.22-14 reads
    udevd-event [2221]: run_program:'/sbin/mindprobe' abnormal exit

    booting into 2.6.22-14 reads last 2 lines that show in the boot and the error are as follows

    [ 37.652817] usbcore: registered new intherface driver usbhid
    [ 37.652888] /build/buildd/linux-source-2.6.22-2.6.22/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: v2.6: USB HID core driver. (this is where it hangs and after leaving it a while i get this)

    check root- bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules,devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
    ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/88b0fb01-9809-4ca2-9e58-1462613b12a does not exist. dropping to shell


    as im new to this what do i need to do to stop this? i really have no idea

    Thanks for taking time to read this and any help would be greatly appreciated

    Re: cant boot into latest kernel

    I' guessing here - HID means Human Interface Device. For instance a mouse.

    Do you have a USB mouse? Keyboard? Any other USB thingy?

    If so, remove what is not needed, and try another type mouse and/or keyboard.

        Reboot your PC. You want to get into the BIOS settings. You need to press the key (or keys) that get you into the BIOS setup (on my laptop, it's the Esc key). You want to look for something akin to USB Legacy Support. If it is enabled, disable it, save the settings and reboot. Try the installation and see if the problem is gone.

            Re: cant boot into latest kernel

            Okay. When you are at the boot menu, press the option key (F6 I think?) that allows you to edit the kernel line. Use your arrow keys to move the cursor. You want to delete the quiet and splash options. Then move the cursor all the way to the right and press enter to continue to boot.

            This will allow you to 'see what's going on' during the boot process. Note the last line before the system hangs.

              there was no splash option to remove so i couldnt get to see where it hangs

              am i supposed to have a /proc partition on my hard drive (im totally unsure about that)

              but when i run it in recovery mode it always hangs at the usb even if i disable the whole usb as well as the legacy i dont get it

                Re: cant boot into latest kernel

                This is the cause of your problems:

                ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/88b0fb01-9809-4ca2-9e58-1462613b12a does not exist. dropping to shell

                Boot into Ubuntu, 7.10, Kernel 2.6.20-15

                Open a console and type:
                Code:
                cat /etc/fstab
                copy and paste the output
                Then type:
                Code:
                blkid
                copy and paste the output
                And also:
                Code:
                cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
                copy and paste the complete output.

                What's going on is how the partitions are being identified - by UUID. The partition giving you the problem above has an assigned UUID that is not longer valid. A review of your fstab file, blkid output and menu.lst should allow us to develop a solution.

                    So far, nothing wrong with the file data. Open a console and type:
                    Code:
                    ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
                    copy and paste the output.

                        Re: cant boot into latest kernel

                        When the system hung, and you got this:
                        check root- bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules,devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
                        ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/88b0fb01-9809-4ca2-9e58-1462613b12a does not exist. dropping to shell
                        Is this a copy/paste of the output, or did you type what you saw? The specific uuid given above simply doesn't exist in any of the files we've looked at. The uuid is missing a single digit (6), which would be your hda1 partition (root partition):
                        88b0fb01-9809-4ca2-9e58-1462613b12a (from the ALERT!)
                        88b0fb01-9809-4ca2-9e58-1462613b126a (from every other source)

                        Off the immediate subject, but observed: you need to make some minor adjustments to your fstab file. The following two entries point to the same device and partition:
                        /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 ntfs-3g defaults,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 1
                        /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 ntfs uid=1000,gid=1000,auto,rw,users,quiet 0 0
                        I would comment out the second entry and change the mount order on the first entry to 2 (which it should be):
                        /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 ntfs-3g defaults,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 2
                        # /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 ntfs uid=1000,gid=1000,auto,rw,users,quiet 0 0
                        The sixth field (0) is used by fsck (the filesystem check utility) to determine the order in which filesystems should be checked. Physical partitions listed in fstab, other than the root partition, should have a 2 as the last entry, meaning, they get checked after the root filesystem. Should a physical HD partition other than / (root) have a 0 in the last position, you would be telling the system to check it ahead of and before the root filesystem, which can lead to problems.

                            That's all I needed to know. So you just 'missed' the digit. Make the suggested two changes to the fstab file (edit as root), save and reboot. Select the 22-14 kernel and report back.
