Jaunty startup problem

Can you please close #71516 as it is a duplicate.

I suggest you boot to recovery mode console and this will allow you to run diagnostics, like fsck. I think turning your system off suddenly may have damaged files (ESC when grub shows up and select root console)

You can then umount your partitions and fsck them to make sure all is well, i recommend the -r option to repair.

BTW, Linux is not Windows so please can you research how to do things properly rather than applying Windows methods to a Linux based system, you will get less issues.

If the system doesnt respond I suggest you hit the restart x combo (alt + k + print screen in jaunty, ctrl + alt + backspace for all others)

i have disabled recovery mode and +memtest in menu.lst by putting # sign in
front

Then you will need to boot to a livecd environment to re-enable them. Why did you comment them out? It makes no difference to the bootup and it avoids situations like this...

coz it is rubbish in my eyes to see.
