I updated my Inspiron 530/531 using the update manager. Everything seemed to go fine until I restarted. I got the following message:

init: sreadahead main process (2089) terminated withstatus 1
mountall:/proc/self/mountinfo:no such file or directory
mountall: rootfilesystem is not mounted
init: mountall mainprocess (2079) terminated with status 1
General error mounting filesystems.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminated this shell and re-try.
root@dell-desktop:~#

I tried CONTROL=D. It did nothing. I then shut it off and restarted. I got the same message. I shut it off again, hit ESC, and got the menu. It gave me choices of booting onto 8.04 and 8.04 (recovery mode). Both gave the same message above.

I have no idea what to do next. Can anybody help me?
