I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 for two days now. Thats something pretty strange because normally thats done in about half an hour.

It doesn't boot whatever I try. I got several different types of not-booting until now. All without significant error messages.

Now that I'm running out of ideas I thought maybe one of you is able to find my mistake. The boot info is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1265205/

If you need any other information I'd be happy to provide it.

  • Are you installing from CD or USB? Have you tried the Alternate install?

  • Did you correctly create the partitions? Like "/" & "SWAP"?

  • I can't see any obvious errors in the install. Grub is installed on the MBR of /dev/sda, is trying to boot off /dev/sda4, and fstab is pointing the correct devices for / and swap. Does it boot to the grub menu? Oct 8, 2012 at 15:04
  • I managed to get the grup prompt, unfortunately not the grub menu. For this I had to include a copy of my linux drives bootsector into the windows bootmenu. I also found out that this is hardwarespecific with lenove ideapad s205. Tried all the fixes I could find so far but I I don't get past the grub prompt.
