HELP!!

[powerbits]

I did a upgrade and restarted up in feisty and he just hangs during boot

after a while I get:

Check root=bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/145ef5b9-f274-4154-9f6f-ec771cfa4680 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

Re: HELP!!

I'll guess that the new version has generated a new UUID for the same hard drive partition where the root filesystem and kernel are

If you can boot in recovery mode and get logged in, try

blkid

and see if your boot partition has a UUID that is different from the one spit out in the error message. If so, you need to

sudo nano /etc/fstab

and change the UUID of the root partition to the one that you saw with the blkid command.

Re: HELP!!

actualy i could not boot in revovery mode, but I did have a second HD with an older version (dapper)

There i changed the fstab file to recognize the faisty fawn hdd..

By accessing the menu.lst file en restoring it (via green recycle symbol) and a reboot, everything worked again!

The main cause is that , sometimes on upgrade my menu.lst file changes and because it is specially set for my 8800GTS card (has to boot in text mode), i change the menu.lst

Unfortenutaly i changed the whole menu.lst with an older one (copy/paste) and probably a wrng UUID was set...

So next time i should only change thos parameters specificly

That would be a very sound strategy.
