update issues stopping boot up

[deadletter]

Well when I get to the grub menu to select windows or minty ^^ all is good until I let mint start up I get this, I'm some what new to linux so I can't fix every problem but I do enjoy usally doing them my self but this one I have no clue on so some help would be great =D

Code: Select all

Starting up ...
[ 0.403205] ACPI: Aborted because crc error
[0.747455] pci 0000:03:06.0:BAR0: error updating (0xfdf00000 !=0xfdd00000

Boot up with a Live CD or something and check your menu.lst file (/boot/grub/menu.lst) , make sure the entry for Mint is pointing to the correct drive.

I've heard of this error occurring when your kernel doesn't have support for the FS type which you are trying to boot from. Still, looking through Menu.lst is a good place to start. You may also want to take a look here:

I thinks I know how to fix it but it's just mounting it annoyance now, I just don't know were to look any more :'(

Code: Select all

you need to edit "/etc/lilo.conf"

add this:

--------------------------------



image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.4

root = /dev/hd*

label = **any thing**

read-only  



point root the the main hdd
