Updated Ubuntu and was asked to restart computer.
This is the screen output:
Preparing Ubuntu 7.10 on hda 9

This hard drive also includes Windows XP, Xandros, Ubuntu 6.06 and of course 7.10. All systems function except Ubuntu 7.10 which did work before tha last upgrade.

you probably dont have enough disk space

it says stack overlap??

 im a noob here but do you think that might be a hint?

an update may add 1.g to your 2.2 or 2.5 kernel size so

with the program info you have your probably jammed your system

sorry if that doesnt help but that would be my guess.

Open a terminal and please copy and paste the result of:

df -h

Then plase delete old cached packages, type:

sudo apt-get clean all

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Redo the:

df -h

command.

Then please copy and paste the result of this terminal command, copy and paste it into a terminal window:

dpkg -l | grep -i linux-image | grep -i ii

Thank you
