http://ubuntuforums.org – I did a 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' a couple of weeks ago in Ubuntu 12.04 and was no longer able to boot into my system (Dell XPS 15z), getting the following error on a black screen that doesn't go anywhere: Code: [drm:intel_dsm_platform_mux_info] *ERROR* MUX INFO call failed [drm:intel_dsm_platform_mux_info] *ERROR* MUX INFO call failed On the grub boot screen I was able to select 'Previous Linux versions' and boot with 3.2.0-32 successfully. After the latest upgrade (today) to 3.2.0-34, I thought the problem might have been fixed, but it gives the same error upon startup. But booting (Hardware)

I was install ubuntu 12.o4 using wubi in the partion of windows 7 not in the section of mac os.After i finished and reboot my computer i got that choice as normal :1-Mac Hd 2-Windows 3-Mac Recovery then i select windows to get the next choice which is 1-Windows 2-Ubuntu When i select to run ubuntu before its booting i got this message appear for just about 5 seconds or less :

Try (hd0.3

I got the message that the version I have been running was no longer supported so I clicked the upgrade to 12.04 button. I took all of the defaults. On first boot it gave the messages

error: not a correct XFS inode. error: you need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continue.....

That dropped me to grub.

I had this problem the first time I installed Ubuntu, and with every dist-upgrade since then. I eventually fix it, but I've never known why it's fixed, and then it gets broken again.

I had 12.04 with my dual boot system. Yesterday I downloaded Ubuntu 12.10 make bootable USB and choose Upgrade option in Installer. After installation Grub failed to boot my machine. I tried following to fix grub bootloder . Same problem I fixed with Ubuntu 12.04 using live USB but this solution not work for Ubuntu 12.10. Now coming at exactly where this solution goes fail.

dist-update kernel failed? 34 weeks 5 days ago

I run:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

, and the linux kernel seemed to be updated to 3.2.0-31-generic successfully.

However, after I rebooted, I typed:

uname -a

, it showed :

Linux Albert-PC 3.2.0-29-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 27 17:03:23 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Does that means the kernel wasn't being updated?

[64 bit] grub rescue boot 25 weeks 4 days ago

Okay, I have a system with a dual boot of windows 7 32-bit ultimate and ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit. I use EasyBCD to manage my boot menu. Apparently during my upgrade to ubuntu 12.10 64-bit, grub failed to reinstall. I now have a grub prompt on a black and white screen.
