[kubuntu] Sporadic freezing / failing to boot

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Well, it's just as the title says. I'm running 12.10, and honestly I'm stumped as to what my problem is. Sometimes my computer will fail to boot multiple times in a row, then all the sudden work great. Usually during the failed boots I get an error message "grub: out of disk", and I have to turn off the computer. Sometimes, I get that same message, and it will boot fine until the desktop loads, then everything will freeze except the mouse pointer. After a couple tries, it will work just fine (I'm posting this on it right now!). Usually the only time it will freeze after a succe (Hardware)

arghh! phone always freezes. 30 weeks 21 hours ago

sooo frustrated :(

I am running NEXUSHD2 v2.7 and Int2ext± with the "Disable CPU rendering" mod running tytung 2.5; I have the EU model also..

my phone always seems to freeze, not just once or twice but I'm talking constantly, sometimes it freezes one time after the other..it would freeze on the MAG screen to the boot animation to writing a message and even after freezing once on the H

I just moved and decided to keep my old hard drive with Precise installed on the first partition (now sda1) and my /home on sda3 (swap in the middle) but to leave my old computer and put my hard drive into a new one.

Hi, I created a installation disk on a usb. The installation looks fine. But when I remove usb and restart computer I get : ERROR : No boot disk has been detected or the disk had failed.

When I press F12 then I get : Please select boot device : UEFI : ST1000DM003-1CH162

If I leave the usb connected can choose to use it to reinstall or try it out.

That is what I've done to run boot-repair.

Hi,

The title is a little misleading because I had issues before the BIOS update it's just exacerbated them.

There is no error message, GRUB just won't boot. VirtualBox loads and then says "FATAL! Cannot Boot" (or something to that extent). GRUB is set to boot, but it just won't work!!

I installed 10.04 LTS using RAID1 with two arrays: /dev/md0 as swap and /dev/md1 the rest. Initial bootup was fine, but after a shutdown, it fails to boot and ends up in grub rescue instead with the message "error: no such disk".

Got my new Neo V.. it's still unrooted..!! Every time I restart my cell, it never works one first boot..!!:mad: It'll boot once, but then it'll freeze immediately...

Hi! I'm running 11.10 on a 32 bit, 2 year old Lenovo thinkpad. About once ever 10 hours of usage, my screen becomes black with no error message, but the computer and monitor are still on. Hitting various keys, CTRL-ALT-DEL, mouse buttons, etc. don't do anything. When I pull the plug, it reboots fine.

I have an old hard disk drive (the ribbon one) that I see using usb has a boot partition but don't see anything else.

So, I thought to try to boot up the the disk (which is running legacy grub) over usb from grub2 to check it out.

But, google has failed me.
