I get a similar error when starting in recovery mode. If I don't touch anything after selecting recovery mode from the GRUB menu, I get a different output: the recovery menu appears and the following text over the first menu item:
/dev/sda6: 784 file, 195956/2895803 clusters It still reacts to NumLock (led flashes), and I can reboot by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del, but that's all. If I press any keys before the recovery menu is displayed, then it gets similar to the screenshot posted by Martin, but the scattered messages are this time: /dev/sda6: 784 file, 195956/2895803 clusters General error mounting filesystems. A maintenance shell will now be started. CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and re-try. r...@localhost:~# Again, the only actions that bring any reaction are NumLock and Ctrl- Alt-Del. Ctrl-D or pressing any other key seems to be useless. -- [Karmic] Grub recovery mode crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460513 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
