Hi all
I've just attempted a distro upgrade (to 9.10) and have been left with a machine in an unbootable state.
I tried using a recovery boot through Grub and can see that the boot process hangs after outputting:
swap: waiting for UUID=$random-string$
If I ESC to get a prompt, I get:
General error mounting filesystems
I can't run dpkg-reconfigure as I get a read-only filesystem error.
Can anybody help?
