This is very simple to fix.

You just need to type in some stuff or somethin'

and then unplug the thingy and put in that other whatsit

and it all does something and then you type startmeup.

I'll give you some more instructions after i finish my milk and cookies.

after clicking enter on the version below it showes the linux mint boot screen (linux mint with the 4 dots then reverts to code after

Code: Select all

linux mint, Linux 2.6.36-28-genaric

code is gives me after i select the version above is

VGA=789 Depreciated. use set gfxpayload=800x600x24, 800x600 before Linux command instead.
no init found. Try init= bootarg

Buisy Box v1.15.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1 ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands

(initramfs)_

i do believe this is the information needed...
