Hi Folks,
I can't boot into my Ubuntu partition after upgrading today from v9.10 to v10.0.4.3 LTS. Details follow.
It's been a while since I last booted into my Ubuntu partition. Over a year actually. I booted into it today and after successfully logging in and checking things out I got the following message:
"Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore. You will not get any further security fixes or critical updates. Please upgrade to a later version of Ubuntu Linux."
Then I saw the message "New Ubuntu Release 10.0.4.3 LTS is available".
I proceeded with the upgrade which took about 30 minutes.
When it was complete I was prompted to reboot. I have a dual boot setup which I used Wubi to create back in early 2010. When the reboot prompted me to choose between Ubuntu and Windows I chose Ubuntu. At this point something flashes in the top left of the screen but its too fast to read. Then the computer goes back to the beginning of the boot and in a few seconds I am prompted to choose between Ubuntu and Windows again.
No matter how many times I choose Ubuntu it just restarts the boot and doesn't proceed. Thankfully I can still boot into Windows XP.
I have no clue what the problem is. The upgrade seemed to complete normally from what I saw.
One other question I have is why would it upgrade today to 10.0.4.3 LTS when the current version of Ubuntu appears to be 11.04? I guess its possible I wrote down the wrong version number. Does that seem right?
Please let me know if there is any other info I can provide.
