10.10 upgrade mess

Asked by Jim Markus

I went to bed last night as my laptop was upgrading from 10.10 to the newly released 11.04. When I awoke this am the screen was all corrupted in bars of white, but the hard drive was still clicking away....so I left it alone until it stopped writing to the hard drive (about 3 hours later) Then I hit the enter key...thinking it would want to re-boot. Nothing happened...so I did a hard reset. Now, I get the boot menu (windows and different kernel choices) but when I try and boot any version of ubuntu I get this cryptic message...

"init: udevtrigger main process (421) terminated with status 1
init: udevtrigger post-stop process (424) terminated with status 1
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
init: udevmonitor main process (420) killed by TERM signal"

I'm assuming ubuntu can't see the root drive anymore...how do I fix this? I can boot into windows still, and off the 10.10 dvd...

It appears that the whole download did not install correctly.
My suggestion would be to download the iso image from the internet, burn it to dvd and then reinstall it.
