Hey,
I've had a Starling for three months, my second one (the first was stolen three months ago) and I really like it.
Except, today, I turned it on to find a really strange low noise, like the motor of an old motorboat, which whirred away, and eventually gave way to more of a buzzing as it seemed to speed up. When the computer is shut off, it slows down and sort of putts to a stop, also sounding like a motorboat.
This would be odd, but not terrible, except that I also get the message "reloc offeset is out of the segment" instead of the usual boot. I gather this is associated with GRUB problems.
So, I am currently going to try and reinstall the GRUB I guess. What I am wondering is: is this familiar to anyone? Is it obvious to anyone what is going on? Any diagnostic suggestions? Thanks.
