I've been using Ubuntu 12.04 normally, but today when I turned my laptop on, and selected Ubuntu out of two options: Windows and Ubuntu, the following screen appeared:
I searched this a lot on here, but couldn't find a working solution.
One solution suggested me that I should do first ls
in different partitions and see where the file vmliuz
or initrd
resides. But I found no where these files.
I also played with the brightness of my laptop, which may be a cause of this stuck screen.
Edit 1:
I'm still unable to find the directory that contains the initrd.img
file.
grub> ls

grub> set pager=1
grub> ls (memdisk)/
wubuilder.cfg
grub> ls (hd0)/
error: unknown filesystem.
grub> ls (hd0,3)/

Edit 2:
Also, please note that I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7. And my Ubuntu resides at the following location; I checked it by booting up Windows OS:
grub ls (hd0,3)/ubuntu/
install/ uninstall-wubi.exe winboot/
/
at the end. But my format wasls (hdx,msdosy)/
, andx
andy
being numbers. Should I dols /boot/
as well to see that the mentioned files exist there or not.
