I am running a Dell Inspiron M5010 with and AMD Phenom II triple core 64 bit processor and 6GB ram. I have been using natty for many months now (dual booting with windows 7 for netflix access) and decided to upgrade to oneric. Upgrade went fine until restart. After restart, I put in my kubuntu password then the computer freezes for a couple of minutes and then goes to a black screen with errors. The first few errors are:
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector (then gives a sector number)
this error is repeated with different sector numbers over and over again
some other errors show up
touch: cannot touch '/var/lib/sudo/jim/1': read only file system
.:5:can't open /etc/apache2/envvars
grub-editenv: error: Cannot read the file /boot/grub/grubenv
It will then go on to repeat a new I/O error with sector number every 2-4 minutes
I left it running for about an hour but nothing happened more that the I/O errors
I can get the computer to start if I select the old kernel version for natty 2.(whatever) but if I ever select the 3.(whatever) kernel I get the I/O errors and it never starts.
I am guessing it is a problem with grub. I am currently using the windows 7 boot loader to point to grub which I hear is the easiest when working with a windows dual boot as windows boot loader can erase grub if you update it. Grub version is Version: 0.97-29ubuntu64 and the computer reports that it is running 11.10 even when I boot it with the older kernel.
Any ideas?
