Public bug reported: I cannot give version information -- due to the fact that Ubuntu will not boot at all. So this is all from memory... I am running the current 9.10 version, and perform system updates regularly. This evening, I ran an update which included a new Ubuntu Linux kernel. After the update, a dialog box appeared which called for a system restart. After closing all open programs (Solitare) I clicked the 'restart' button. The OS shut down normally.
Now when I try to boot Ubuntu, I get only a grub prompt with no kernel loaded. This is a Dell laptop dual boot setup with Ubuntu loop-installed on the NTFS volume hosted by Windows Vista. Grub is set so that Vista is the default. Vista still boots normally after the menu wait. The Grub menu never appears when Ubuntu is selected. How do I get Ubuntu back? -- Vernon Cole ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- new kernel will not boot after auto update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537131 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
