Tony, can you get to the /var/logs/dist-upgrade and post the apt, main,
and terminal logs on pastebin?

http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/
or
http://pastebin.org/

and then post back with the links to the logs?


Logs are in

_http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2Nwhbimx_


Note that I had a failed dist-upgrade prior to this with this bug (because I had
Xubuntu also installed). I can get you the logs for this if you need them, but
it won't be until Friday evening.

Most of it (as far as I can tell) looks fairly normal. Only bits that
look odd are:

Can you try:
$ sudo update-initramfs -c -k all
$ sudo update-grub

and also post on pastebin:

$ cat /etc/fstab
$ cat /etc/boot/menu.lst
$ blkid

I know that you've done some/most of this before, but having it on
pastebin will be helpful


fstab and menu.lst are at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/mVyacMHN

Did these from the live USB. Can't get the output from blkid as I
cannot boot at all now, not even with the Karmic kernel. Did the
update-initramfs cause this?

So it looks likes re-intstall time. So any advice on this would be
welcome. I will want to rescue my data in /home and probably keep it
in a separate partition. The rest can go in to a single root partition.
Plus swap, of course.

On my 200MB drive (/dev/sda), I currently have:

/dev/sda1 Windows XP NTFS 90GB
/dev/sda2 Extended partiton
/dev/sda5 swap 1GB
/dev/sda6 / 3GB
/dev/sda7 /tmp 5GB
/dev/sda8 /usr 10GB
/dev/sda9 /var 5GB
/dev/sda10 /home 40GB
unused
/dev/sda3 Windows VFAT 5GB
/dev/sda4 Windows Recovery VFAT 6GB (Recovery data)

This last partiton doesn't ever get mounted.

Tony
