Ubuntu 11.04 power failure during install get grub but no disk?
During the "install" phase of the upgrade there was a power failure. After when starting up again the following errors are reported:
init: udevtrigger main process (420) terminated with status 1
init: udevtrigger post-stop process (428) terminated with status 1
init: udevmonitor main process (419) killed by TERM signal
The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present
Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
Pressing M gives me the following message:
Root filesystem check failed.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and reboot the system.
root@FamilyPC:~#
if I CTRL ALT DEL from this prompt I get the GNU GRUB version 1.98 screen with choices of
- Ubuntu with Linux 2.6.35-28-generic
- above (recovery mode)
- Ubuntu with Linux 2.6.32-30-generic
- above (recovery mode)
Memory test etc.....
somehow I think there may be a way out of this without having to do a complete new install??
I am thinking of booting up using my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" CD and trying to rebuild from there but seeing that the main preparation of the 11.04 upgrade has been completed and the failure was during the 2nd to last phase during the install this method may now not work.
Does anyone have any helpful suggestions to get me to the OS Desktop?
Thanks
Chris
