Hit the upgrade to 9.1 option in updates thinking it would be just another upgrade - didn't back up files - and now Ubuntu will not load. Gets to the loading screen then reverts to:
"waiting for /dev/disk/by UUID/cef 57a5b-412f-4f50-a634-3793596a9d9a
'TMP:waiting for null
:wap waiting for UUID=30cd36b1-3a81-458f-bfa7-167c30081de5"
Looks like a boot problem to me but I am barely literate in Windows. Ubuntu is a whole new game. Appreciate any suggestions that might enable me to get back in to 9.04 to at least retrieve my files.
I have a good 9.1 disc now but cannot seem to get it to repair the installation.
System is AMD64bit, dual booted with XP pro.
Be gentle with me, I'm probably too old and too thick to be fooling with this stuff :confused:
