Thread: What the **** is going on?

i've been using 9.10 since released stable version , saw tonight there security upgrades clicked on them , started download , installation. after finished, network-manager disappears completely. not icon, newtork-manager itself. so, idiot being me thought "maybe needs reboot" . went terminal , typed in sudo shutdown -r , went through normal reboot phase until got screen says

"boot (hd0, 0) ext3 somerandomnumbers

error 15: file not found

press key continue"

press key , sends me screen 5 options, 4 of ubuntu9.10 , kernel , 2 of them have recovery mode in paranthesis behind them. not of take me anywhere, send me file not found screen. 5th option ubuntu9.10 memtest86+ , goes i'm assuming memory test(?)

yeah. suggestions? have year's worth of research on pos , partially backed (i know, stupid) there anyway salvage memory?

ahead of time.

boot 1 of older kernels, or may want boot memtest make sure there nothing wrong memory. if computer won't reboot, reisub technique. (you can find how reisub searching on google.)

try livecd or burn pc. restart broken 1 livecd. run fsck utility inside terminal once load livecd.
