Hi,
I just did a dist-upgrade and now my system will not boot up. There is something wrong with grub now. After I pick kernel 2.6.30 from the grub menu I get the following error.
Code:
Loading linux 2.6.30-0
error: file not found.
Loading initial ramdisk
error: you need to load the kernel first.
press any key
I am in the process of redownloading the live cd to try to fix it. |

I've the same identical problem.
"grub-install" and "update-grub" from the live-cd have no effects.

| Did you log out of KDE and close X before D-U ? |

do you have encrypted /?
can we see grub.cfg and fdisk -l from the affected box please? (boot live cd to access it)

Before D-U I've put the system in runlevel 3 (X-server closed).
My / is not encrypted.
I've attached a copy of "grub.cfg" file and the output from "fdisk -l".
Any ideas about what I can do in order to solve the problem?
Thanks

kernel update does not HAVE to be done outside of X, thats not the issue here
hmm .. there was a initramfs-tools update too, as well as a grub-pc update recently + new kernel ..
question is: why is it not seeing the kernel for you, it seems pointed correctly |

prozektor, GdV87,
please put pastes ii the thread here, in a codebox. you get there by writing a first few characters and hitting 'Preview' please use the code tags there. thanks.
other than that i have no clue so far, why this happens to some, but not all. my 32-/64-bit boxes are fine after the upgrade.
