So I really messed up my machine.. at first the usb drives wouldn't work. So I restarted it.. now it gets stuck on the load up screen with the following info.

*Enabling additional executable binary formats binfmt-support
FATAL: Module binfmt_misc not found.
update-finfmts: warning: Couldn't load the minfmt_misc module.

*Checking battery state...
/dev/sda
setting Advanced Power Management level to 0xfe (254)

and that's all i see (plus some other stuff that started up before that)

Is there anyway to undo what I did?

this is what I did to mess my up my ubuntu :



chmod 644 usbcore.ko
sudo cp usbcore.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/core
sudo depmod -ae
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo reboot

I downloaded a file called usbcore.ko from http://www.scott-wallace.net/misc/us...072-mod.tar.gz

It restarted, the usb drives stopped working. I tried "sudo depmod +ae" for some reason.. to see if I could undo what i did and it said something along the lines of "no such command". I then restarted my machine and received the screen I described (all black, only white text)

I tried turning my computer off and on.. nothing.

before restarting I ran dmesg |tail -n 20

this is what I received
