Hey guys. Not long ago I apt-get upgraded my system to the latest Karmic release and it ruined my Ubuntu install. In the hopes of fixing it, I waited a few weeks so that maybe the bug would be fixed. I used an Ubuntu livecd and did as follows
#mkdir /mnt/ubuntu && mount -t ext3 /dev/sda4 /mnt/ubuntu && mount -t ext2 /dev/sda3 /mnt/ubuntu/boot && mount -o bind /dev/pts /mnt/ubuntu/dev/pts/ && mount -o bind /sys /mnt/ubuntu/sys && mount -o bind /proc /mnt/ubuntu/proc && chroot /mnt/ubuntu /bin/bash
then I did a
apt-get update && apt-get upgradebut I think I did something wrong because when I rebooted, I just got a black screen with a bunch of text flashing by over and over. So I rebooted into the livecd again, did the same steps as written above, only this time I ran
apt-get autoremove && apt-get dist-upgradeThis time, something went wrong with the kernel installation I guess because now when I reach the GRUB screen, it tells me it cannot find any of the kernels I try to boot into. Do you guys know what I can do to fix this problem :confused: ??
Thanks in advance...I don't really feel like doing a fresh Ubuntu install
