/dev/sda1 or UUID xxxxxxx not found after upgrade to 10.04 from 9.10
All,
I was upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 and now my HDD can't boot at all to the 2.6.34-rc6 kernel, I get dumped to the busybox shell, and when I select the 2.6.30.9 I get "The hard drive for / is not ready or not present." I can see the drive fine with fdisk -l, /dev/sda1 is my HDD, but when booting something isn't working right. Any help would be much appreciated. Also, is there a way to make GRUB 2 automatically show the menu so I don't have to hold down the shift key? Thanks in advance! |
I didn't think upgrades were supposed to replace grub. Have a read of this - very good background on grub2.
|
I read that about Grub2, very informative. Grub2 locks a ton of its files making all customization difficult. Very strange.
|
I think I have the same problem here: Kubuntu 10.04 (64-bit) fails to boot: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)
If you figure out how to boot the drive can you re-post it here so I see your solution? Thx. I'm going to go play with 'holding shift' and see where that gets me. |
'Holding shift' didn't work out. I got a green screen with "Loading, please wait..." in the upper left, it froze the system.

I ended up going back to BT4 stock Ubuntu/Pentesting image. I do find this an interesting problem. Holding shift did allow me to see the GRUB menu but nothing would work right after the initial issue. I was finally able to get to a regular shell but no suggestion from other forums or this one about comparing UUID to things in /etc/fstab helped. For my other laptop I put Fedora 12 on it and it's working fine.
