Thread: Stuck in Grub prompt AGAIN. (Ubuntu 9.1, newest kernel)


this kinda last stand me.

running ubuntu9.1/xp dual-boot , on 4th wubi installation.
first 3 had crashed within day of use after updating 2.6.31-15.

4th time updated -14 -16, updated grub, , worked perfect, ati wonder tv card =]
has been working great 2 weeks, restarts every day.
last night, though, came home , noticed system frozen , ended having hard reboot.

when booted , chose ubuntu went strait dreaded grub prompt (1.97 beta4). happened on -15 when had hard reboot. last time able boot using:
code:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/sda1 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic boot
now, when try either -14 or -16 reads "file not found".
have checked misspellings , ran these multiple times getting same response. positive installation on sda1, too.

have tried running live cd , mounting filesystem updating grub.
far:
code:
sudo fdisk -l sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
after last command "mount point not found /mnt/dev"

seems me if installation isn't there?
possible when ubuntu folders still intact on drive?

last shot going give ubuntu, love it, after re-install takes on day how was, , lose lot of work in process

bump
