Hello. Last night I performed the auto upgrade to Ubuntu 10.01 and upon restart of my machine I am presented with 3 screens. The first is a simple "GRUB loading". The second is "mount: mountting none on /dev failed: no such device". The third screen is a series of initializations, i.e. /dev/sda1: clean, (number of files), (number of blocks)
*setting preliminary keymap...
and so on until it hits the line:
*checking battery status
at which point it will cease loading until i press the power button. The next thing that occurs is it kills all the processes it just initialized and shuts down the computer.

I read that this is likely a problem from loading the wrong kernel but I can't even boot far enough to get into a command line to try to fix things.

Thanks in advance,
Josh

Hello again. Just wondering if there is anyone out there who can help me with this. I am hesitant to try some of the ideas I have because there are some files on this machine that I would sincerely like to retrieve.

Thanks,
Josh
