ok.. I selected overwrite and proceeded with all your commands. They worked without any problems and apparently the updates were downloaded and applied properly. However, now Ubuntu won't boot..
The message shown after the computer fails to boot is as follows.
Code:
WARNING bootdevice may be renamed. Try root=/deve/sda6
Gave up waiting for root device. COmmon problems:
-root ards (cat /proc/dmcline)
- Check rootdelay
-Chech root
MIssing modules (cat /proc/modules: ls /dev)
ALTERT! /dev/hda6 does not exist. Dropping to a shell.!
( I typed that out manually. There may be typos)
According to bash on tiny core linux, my Ubuntu installation is on hda6.. not sda6. (note the h and not s).
EDIT: Running sudo fdisk -l on an old Ubuntu live CD (8.10) shows that linux is on /dev/sda6 whereas the same command on tiny core says linux is on /dev/hda6...
