Dear All, I have problem with ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 in laptop Hp Pavilion dv2700.
for past three days, I am installing, re-installing, re-installing . . . On Tuesday I have installed ubunuu 10.10 with dual boot. After installed it, it was working properly. the next day, I can not see the login screen. Its always showing the ubuntu logo only. In recovery mode, it says "setting fstab". My fstab has no problem. Also I was run the fsck /dev/... [all] On wednesday again I reinstalled with ubuntu 10.04. / on /dev/sda7 , /home on /dev/sda6 and swap on /dev/sda5 with 'ext4' type. It was working perfectly on that day fully. I mounted USB drive, CD-ROM. But today when I switch on the system, I got the same problem like , 'setting fstab'. I cant login in tty1 and all. i.e. I cant login in anyway. I was run fsck from live cd and checked the fstab many times. it has no problem/error. ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xb759f9a0 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 13 7649 61336576 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 7650 19458 94849025 5 Extended /dev/sda5 10139 10637 3998720 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 10637 19458 70849536 83 Linux /dev/sda7 7650 10139 19998720 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order ubu...@ubuntu:~$ ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck /dev/sda7 fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010) /dev/sda7: clean, 162967/1250928 files, 967671/4999680 blocks ubu...@ubuntu:~$ Now again going to re-install it with 'ext3' type. I dont know where is the problem. Either hard disk failure or os cd failure. The thing is, if the os cd has problem means, how can I do all the works after installed successfully. Or Laptop itself has problem ... ?
