Thank you chisao, you saved my night! Here is what I did:
1. Ensure you are connected to your router by DHCP. 2. Start your machine and select the "recovery kernel linux 2.6.31-10" with the "down" button. Press "e" on your keyboard. 3. Select the "kernel uuid=..." entry with the "down" button and type "e" again. 4. Change "ro single" to "rw init=/bin/bash". Press "Enter" and "b" on the keyboard. 5. Wait until booting stops and press "Enter". 6. "root@(none):" is displayed. Type in the konsole: dhclient eth0 7. After this operation the connection to the internet is activated and you can type in the konsole: apt-get dist-upgrade 8. Wait 10 min until upgrade is done. 9. Reboot your machine and select "kernel linux 2.6.31-9" in grub. Ubuntu works. I tried to start "kernel linux 2.6.31-10" after the upgrade but this didnĀ“t work. Probably the next dist-upgrade does it. -- Karmic Koala stopps dead after /scripts/init-bottom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
