Dell Inspiron 5555 -Boot Problems after update
Hi,
I am having some trouble with my Ubuntu certified Dell Inspiron 5555 laptop.
After installing updates two days ago, the video card started overheating, producing a constant heavy load. Not knowing what the issue was I quickly saved my data and wanted to reinstall everything by using the factory image at boot time. I couldn't reach the boot menu though, apparently the updates also messed the bootloader somehow, so I can't get Ubuntu to load/
So at the moment I'm stuck with an (initramfs) shell, and an error message "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system".
There is also a "casper.log" file containing dozens of repetitions of the following error: " /init: line 11: can't open /dev/sr0"
It is possible though to mount the factory folders from sda3 and my root partition on sda4, so I don't think there's any physical damage to the system, just maybe some bootloader configuration issues.
Could you give any advice on what to do? I wouldn't want to lose the factory image configs which worked very well. So maybe there is way to reinstall the factory image? Or should I use some live CD? I'm afraid that the option might not have the exact firmware I need.
Thanks in advance,
Laszlo
