Public bug reported:
I updated Ubuntu from 6.06 Dapper Drake to 6.10 Edgy Eft over the Internet.
I am on an Alienware AMD64 laptop.
I believe I used the command: sudo update-manager -c to upgrade.
The upgrade did not seem to go very well with multiple errors during the
process.
On reboot after everything appeared to finish, I get these errors:
Failed to allocate mem resource #6: ___________ for _______________
RAMDISK: ran out of compressed data
invalid compressed format (err=1)
Kernel panic -not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
This happens when I boot GRUB with the 2.6.15-27-amd64-genericDefault kernel
(the top entry).
When I boot the 2.6.17-10-generic kernel I only get the fourth error, then the
machine reboots.
I have tried the recovery mode line items, and all of the others without
getting to a login screen.
I did some searching on the forums and found the kernel panic error on previous
version upgrades, but not Eft.
I can try to boot from a live CD and grab the dist-upgrade file if you want
that.
Let me know what you would like me to try.
THANKS!
