Cannot boot to build 17 after a requested update

[[e-mail]]

Binary package hint: yelp

I was requested by the Update Manager to download and install several updates.

When I boot to Build 17, I get message "Kernal Panic - cannot mount to space ............. " I therefore have to make a hard shutdown and then boot to Build 16.

Sorry, but I am a novice to Ubuntu and Linux

Hi <email address hidden>,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 505016

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
