after upgrade to 8.04 system boots to busybox

[peter_t]

I am new to linux so please excuse my ignorance. After running the upgrade to 8.04 from the Update Manager in 7.10, my laptop (dell m1330n) boots to busybox. If I select the 2.6.26-16-generic kernel it loads fine but I don't even know if this is the kernel that I should be running. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I had the same issue....I found a fix if you are using supergrub and have SATA drives. Simple change in the supergrub startup script.

Ahhh, thank you that seems to have corrected it. What is the difference between the virtual and generic kernels?

Not sure on that one....I'm somewhat of a newb, on my first install. When I got the busybox error, I spent a couple days trying to work the issue until I found a way to fix the boot script.
