  • Can you append the output of uname -r to your question, please?

  • Also post the output of cat /etc/default/grub. From the error message it seems there is something wrong there.

Reset to default

You have an error in this line of /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" acpi = nolapic

It should be

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi=nolapic"
