Comment 20 for bug 656526

Yesterday I made a clean install of Lucid on a full hard disk using 10.04.2 LiveCD and upgraded fully (but not to subsequent releases). After problem with freezing screen, I attempted to fix with one of solutions documented elsewhere. This lead to computer refusing to reboot: it came up with problem on boot (stopped at busybox initramfs prompt). When I attempted to fix this using Lucid 10.04.2 LiveCD it hung. So I attempted to fix with CLI commands resulting in mount problems. So I used a boot-repair cd (download iso from http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/files/) to reboot. Worked perfectly (even fixing hard disk problems) without even having to fix grub and then booted directly into hard disk resident Lucid.
