Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22
After I updated to the new linux image, 2.6.20-16-generic I can't start anymore. It loads until like a 30% of the progress bar and then it says this:
"The superblock could not read or does not describe a corrected ext2 filesystem. If the device is (?) and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>"
(?) = Can't understand what word I wrote there xD
After that message prints there are others saying that many commands don't exist and then I can write on the terminal, but it recognized no command and says I've to install it. Key combination Ctrl + Alt + Supr does work.
If I select the kernel I had before on Grub, everything works fine. Also, I don't know why it complains about ext2, since all partitions used by the system are ext3.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I'm a bit confused about which kernel you are having an issue with. You mention '2.6.20-16' yet that package this bug is filed against is '2.6.22' which is the kernel version for Gutsy. Could you please clarify the situation? Thanks in advance.
