Hi,
I just got a laptop (DELL PP06S) from a friend set up on kubuntu. He told me to download and run the updates packages if I had time. So so did I and now the computer stops on an error at boot and I can't log in at all to type any command.
The error message coming up is:
ata1.00: exeption Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 action 0x6
ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x24
ata1.00: failed command: WRITE DMA
ata1.00: cmd ca/00:38:e7:14c/00:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 28672 out
ata1.00: res 51/84:00:1e:15:7c/00:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error)
ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR }
ata1.00: error: { ICRC ABRT }
And it seems to try that action over and over but I never get to log in and type any command.
I got told to check the drive cables connections, which I did but it made no difference.
I also got told that I could try to start with an older kernel, I tried all the different kernels available in the GNU GRUB but no success.
The different options availables are:
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-26-generic
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-26-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-25-generic
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-25-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-24-lowlatency
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-26-lowlatency (recovery mode)
Memory test (memtest86+)
Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)
From my understanding these are the new and older kernels, is that right?
I had to do the updates in 3 times so I guess the kernel from before then isn't in the list anymore.
Every one of them shows the same error message and no way to get a console.
So I can't type any command.
Though, I found out that I can type commands in the GRUB, is there any way to change the kernel from the GRUB?
If so what would be the commands?
Thanks
