Thread: 12.04 won't boot to desktop after install -- uuid error

-

have been installing ubuntu versions on same pc since 11.04 , never encountered failure ...

installed usb. went fine. removed usb rebooted. never login screen.

error message of /dev/disk/by-uuid xxx not exist

ends (intramfs) prompt

so, did blkid command -- uuid of ext4 partition matches uuid in error message!

erased partition, reinstalled again -- time, cd. rebooted -- same result.

tried adding nomodeset kernel boot parms -- no difference.

basically, can boot livecd , liveusb fine, after install, can't (intramfs) prompt.

booted 11.10 (where now) , ran check on ext4 filesystem on other disk -- 1 containing precise. found no errors. rebooted -- same problem.

booted boot-repair cd, downloaded update, selected option repair -- sits there activity thing moving. left on hour, no progress.

ok, what?

i can't explain it, seems grub2 not installed when there grub2 on mbr previous version.

sounds silly, try reinstalling grub2 standard commands live mode (using same version cd 1 have installed on hdd):
sudo mount /dev/sdxy /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdx

if doesn't help, try parameter 'rootdelay=30' although that's usb disks.
