Public bug reported:
I upgraded a Dell Inspiron 530N running fine with Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04
LTS. It will not boot after the upgrade. (This Dell was originally
purchased with Ubuntu pre-installed.)
Summary:
I started up my Dell Inspiron 530N running Ubuntu 7.10. There was a UI
element in the menu indicating a new upgrade for 8.04 was available. The
upgrade process proceeded easily enough, downloading files etc. I was
prompted to restart the system. Upon restart the system no longer boots.
Instead, I just receive an unending list of error messages in a full
terminal screen (preceded by a note about BusyBox) like this:
ata2.00: status: { DRDY. }
ata2.0 exception Emask 0x0 ASct ....
ata2.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:24:00 ....
I reinstalled Ubuntu 7.10 and everything works fine on the system. I
then updated the clean 7.10 installation with all the post-release fixes
for an up-to-date system. Then I ran an upgrade to 8.04. I get the same
list of error messages and system does not boot.
