Nope, am a Linux fan(atic) i know what is to be done - Linux controls the grub , its probably a problem of update / upgrade that messed up. ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Looks like partition table of the hard disk was changed after installation of Ubuntu. Because of this the root partition referred in grub kernel lines does not exist anymore. If you know which partition (/dev/sd*) is root partition then ask your feidn to change option root=xxx by editing boot entry line on the fly (pressing 'e' on appropriate line in grub menu).

You need to fix grub, as Win 7 has its own bootloader and messes with the mbr. I used the following links to set up Ubuntu to boot, and present Win 7 as a boot option in grub, after installing Win 7: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1035999 http://members.iinet.net/%7Eherman546/index.html HTH Abhinav -- http://www.employees.org/~abhinav/blog http://indimark.blogspot.com -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

This of course may not eliminate the root cause but it might allow the user to access the system (and perhaps run an apt-get upgrade to grab the newest kernel and initramfs) Regards, Ritesh -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Actually i installed it for him, only problem hs is 300 km away so the best i can do is online support. Yes /, /boot /home are all separate.. There is one HD divided somewhat like this Windows 7 (ntfs) Shared (ntfs) /boot - ext4 swap /root ext4 /home ext4 The order of the linux partitions may not strictly be as mentioned above. He is able to use a live cd / dvd and work of the computer. Windows 7 boots normally He did update the computer (over broadband) so am wondering if grub could have got messed up. ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
