Decided to reinstall karmic, now am getting stuck at the busy box shell
upon boot. The live cd goes to the desktop and allows a complete
install, upon rebooting it enters busy box. Might try the alternate cd
and see if that works. This computer has run all distro's from 7.04 -->
9.04 without issue before. No changes to the computer that could cause
this.
** Description changed:
- Fresh install of karmic koala on computer already running jaunty and xp - [xp
on /dev/sda; jaunty on primary partions on /dev/sdb and karmic installed to
logical partition on /dev/sdb -: this configuration worked fine with intrepid
on primary partitions and jaunty inwtalled in the logical partiotion]. Upgraded
grub to grub 2 - computer booted so removed grub-legacy. Booted into karmic
(slow to boot) but the speed was OK once loaded. Tried to install restricted
nvidia drivers - screen froze. Had to do a hard reboot and now only get a black
monitor which hangs immediately after the OS has loaded, but it doesn't get as
far as logon screen.

Booted into recovery mode - tried to fix broken packages - no change
- dropped to command line and typed sudo xfix -
message says 'xfix' not recognized. Has this command changed?
Xp and jaunty still boot - seems it is not a grub 2 issue, but as I
can't get as far as the login screen, I can't offer any more
information, unless someone can supply commands to use from the shell in
recovery mode.
