this morning i ran update manager and it was working fine before that.
when it told me to restart what i got was grub starting followed by the following :
>grub to see menu hit tab to see all acpi
I followed all I could comprehend but reboot brings it to grub menu and does not any further.
when I do the following
$ sudo fdisk -l
I get the following message.

I checked the /boot/grub directory there is no menu.lst in the directory.
I wonder what happened here. I hope to fix it without reinstalling the ubuntu 9.10 all over again.
any help appreciated.
