Thread: Incomplete Upgrade


i decided upgrade 11.04.

reason, installation process froze during installation of 1 of fonts (i dont remember one), or "about 44 minutes" prior completion. waited hour , half, during fans of older gateway mt 6916 going @ full speed.

decided shut down , upon doing it, shut down menu (the 1 gives choices shut down, restart, etc.) came unreadable. knew click on , computer turned off.

happens when reboot it:

1. given choice of version of os boot, prior upgrade booting right up.

2. choose recovery mode of course (but same thing happens if choose normal boot...) , get


init:udevtrigger main process (387) terminated status 1
init: udevtrigger post-stop process (391) terminated status 1
init: udevmonitor main process (386) killed term signal
disk drive / not ready yet or not present
continue wait; or press s skip mounting or m manual recovery

after pressing s shows information hw present , start of running couple of scripts ( local-bottom , init-bottom)

ends following message @ bottom of screen:

mountall: plymouth command failed
mountall: disconnected plymouth

shut down pressing power button , repeat entire process. when time choose "m manual recovery", same thing on scree, exception of last 4 lines:

root filesystem check failed.
maintenance shell started.
control-d terminate shell , reboot system.
root@alienspecimen:~#

yes, guessed right, alienspecimen name of computer, dont ask...

how bad it? possible complete installation?

can provide me detailed instructions how return laptop life? , mean annoyingly detailed....

appreciate help.

best

do have live cd or live usb of ubuntu? versions 10.04 or 10.10 11.04. if so, boot live cd , go site:

http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/

download , run boot info script according instructions there. post contents of results.txt file between [code] , [/code] tags legibility can use message toolbar icon this.

give overview of system , particularly may explain why boot process cannot find root (/) partition.
