Fatal error after upgrading from version 10.04 to 10.10

I upgraded Ubuntu from version 10.04 to 10.10. When the upgrade completed I was asked to reboot. After reboot I simply got the message "error: file not found" on the screen. After a few seconds the machine rebooted.

I guess it is the boot loader that was not found. Is there some hope of fixing this problem?

If you have a liveCD (of Karmic or later) you can restore the GRUB2 bootloader using the instructions here.

Assuming the bootloader IS the problem, that is. If you press "shift" after the bios appears, do you get the GRUB menu?

Thanks for the reply. I found out that the easiest solution might be to reinstall Ubuntu.

If that's not too big a problem, then yes, that would be easier than troubleshooting GRUB .
