[ubuntu-uk] Cannot boot after upgrade to Lucid
Hi all I have posted the following bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/573776 but got no response yet so I wonder if anyone on the list can help me? It seems that the only way I can get at my partitions is by using my USB stick. So I can pull of log files, etc and modify any config files, if needed.

Tony Hello, That error is related to your graphics card. What gfx card and what RAM do you have? Here's the error in the drivers code if (rdev-family == CHIP_RS400 || rdev-family == CHIP_RS480) { /* FIXME: RS400 RS480 seems to have issue with GART size * if 4G of system memory (needs more testing) */ rdev-mc.gtt_size = 32 * 1024 * 1024; DRM_ERROR(Forcing to 32M GART size (because of ASIC bug ?)\n); } Can you let us know what hardware your system has and we can look a bit further.

Tony Can you see what version of linux (kernel) is showing in grub, it should have a version number such as 2.6.31-20. The only thing I can think of is that grub is using an older kernel and the modules for your video driver are going splat... -- John Stevenson jr0cket.com leanagilemachine.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Tony Can you confirm that it boots with a livecd? You refer to your usb stick, is that the live image you installed from? -Matt -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Yes /var does have its own partition. I can boot off the USB stick with Lucid 10.04 LTS on it, but I did not install from it. This was a distribution upgrade using Update Manager. The kernels shown by GRUB are 2.6.32.21 2.6.31.21 2.6.27.11 I can't boot from the first two. The last one boots to a log in prompt, then freezes, but gives me a console session on tty1. It also boots in recovery mode. Tony -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
