I updated the 64-bit version of 10.10 to 11.04 and I am having trouble booting the new kernel, 2.6.38. The old 2.6.35 kernel under the previous linux versions works fine. All went well with the update except grub, it installed to the wrong drive, but that was a quick fix When I try to boot the new kernel in verbose mode, it stops after
init: unreadahead-other main process (844) with status 4
init: unreadahead-other main process (849) with status 4
init: unreadahead-other main process (854) with status 4
app armor: skipping firefox
Booting the old kernel in verbose reports the same messages, but it doesn't freeze there. I noticed the config, system-map, vmcoreinfo, and vmlinuz files in /boot had incorrect permissions and I tried setting the same ones the working kernel has but I had no luck. Also, I've tried purging the new kernel and reinstalling it, but I get the same problem. Anyone have any ideas on what I could do?
Problem Solved!!
Apparently this was a graphics issue. Before upgrading, I didn't uninstall the nvidia driver from the .run file. Booting into recovery mode and reinstalling the driver fixed the problem.
