    Maverick issues

    For the past few days I have been experiencing boot issues with Maverick on my desktop. Currently its showing this
    Code:
    Mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: no such file or directory
    mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: no such file or directory
    mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: no such file or directory
    Target filesystem doesn't have required /sbin/init
    No init found. Try passing init=bootarg
    This behaviour is usually preceded by trying to open an app (gnumeric/brasero/USC why). Processor usage goes thru the roof and the only way out is to reboot where the boot problem manifests itself.

    My method of sorting out the boot issue is to reboot using a spare hdd with 10.04 installed o it. Go into the disk utility and run "check disk". This reports no faults and the PC will happily reboot on the other disk. Only thing is that the Plymouth boot screen seems to be degraded.

    Only other thing to mention is that I am using an Nvidia 6600Gt card.

    Is this fixable or is it a re-install job?

    Just "fixed" the issue. Upon reboot I tried to burn a backup live CD using brasero. Usual CPU issue, tried logging out and got the following error message
    Code:
    mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth
    Ubuntu 10.10 alpha (machine name) tty1
    alpha login: mountall: Event failed
