Thread: Uncompression Error after kernel update
after upgrading new kernel (via official update ubuntu) today, computer no longer boot properly. after rebooting apply update, system ran scheduled disk check (i think it's set every 30 mounts or that). errors found and, message said, "[pressed] f attempt fix errors." fixed. re-checking in knoppix reveals file system clean , is, in fact, mounted post.
after leaving computer alone while check, seems had rebooted without intervention. it's laptop on ac power , full battery ruled out power interruption, screen says:
i figure "ok, new kernel has issue, i'll boot 1 of backups." boot 2 previous versions (2.6.32-23 , 2.6.32-22) , both error out kernel panic , complains:code:booting [my hd's uuid]... starting up... uncompression error --system halted
so i'm stuck prospect of backing of data (a lot) , returning computer factory settings (ubuntu 8.10) , re-upgrading or re-installing scratch losing of dell-supplied software.code:kernel panic - not syncing: vfs: unable mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0).
need know if there way non-destructively recover error. thoughts or ideas?
edit: thread should re-labeled [ubuntu], must have mis-clicked.
this caused grub2 being misconfigured update.
