Well, I tried to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 today, and things just didn't go well. I had to modify my grub menu manually (please tell me if I missed anything):
When it boots, it goes in to text mode and says:
And I don't know how to fix it, start KDE, find out what's wrong, or anything. I do know the above uuid is my swap file partition, and that my linux partition is 2df69a94-6b9e-42c7-8b7f-674c7d7a0bbd. Can someone please help out?
