ubuntu stopped booting, what should i do

Asked by smascol1

once i get through grub, it pauses when it says ubuntu and that orange and black status bar, i tried starting it in recovery mode (dont know what that means, but sounded helpful) and that froze too, the last line said

46.682219 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Boot a live CD and get your data off and reformat. The kernel seems to have been messed with. Did you recently install any programs?

I also recommend next time you have your /home on a separate partition. That way no matter what linux distro you use or how many times you reformat, all your settings and files will remain the same.
