Ubuntu hangs at initramfs

[vra5107]

Hi

My ubuntu standalone installation fails during startup. Now I do have windows installed in parallel, but Ubuntu owns the boot record.

I have tried going back to older versions of ubuntu, but they all see the same problem. I have read online that this may happen when there is a failed sudo apt-get update since linux sets a flag of some sort. Is there a way to reset this ?

I am unable to get past this , any help is appreciated.

Ok

I was able to run live cd and start an OS. I have tried the command below without any success.



sudo update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs is disabled since running on read-only media


Is there a way to fix the initramfs on existing ubuntu installation using the live cd?

Well

This was already solved in another post. I was able to fix my problem looking at that post as well.
