Ubuntu

system still hangs on scripts/init-bottom after update

Asked by switch

Hi I've been having the same problem. system hangs at scripts/init-bottom

I just went through the process of booting from the live cd and sudo chroot /mnt , apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.

Ubuntu 9.10 is still hanging at scripts/init-bottom.

this is the error I get.

udevd[813] inotify-add-watch(6,(null),10) failed: bad address

terminate this shell and retry.ted with status 10-udev-default.rules:4t

also when I issue the apt-get upgrade command I get the following error:

Errors were encounted while processing linux-image-2.6.31-10 generic
grub-pc
grub2
E:sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1)

an additional error went something like the following:

can not write log, openpty() failed.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Switch,

can it be possible that you hardware configuration is changed during or after the Ubuntu-installation; the error seem to state that a disk can not be adressed anymore...

Please describe here how the configuration was during installation (e.g. on an external HDisk), what version you have, etc.

Thank you!

Can you help with this problem?
