Problem solved (again) I used the liveCD from Gutsy to boot, and re-assembled the array using info from this page:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461 mounted the volume and then ran lilo following some information I found here: http://www.syrlug.org/contrib/boot-loaders.html#LILO and finally rebooted into Feisty - where the failed kernel update repeated itself. Fortunately, I could still work on the problem because the system hadn't been rebooted. This time, I solved the problem by removing a section of my lilo.conf file corresponding to a windows boot. I am not sure why the windows section was there (perhaps as a courtesy?) because I didn't add it (when I want to boot from windows, I just select the windows boot device from BIOS). In fact, I have never touched the lilo.conf file before today. In any case, I think the lilo configuration was no longer valid because the order of the drives (as reported by BIOS?) was changed between kernel updates - possibly relating to an issue documented in bug #8497. Anyway, good news today. So until next time - hope NOT to see you so soon. -- failed kernel update followed by boot failure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107249 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
