Kubuntu Crashes, Third Time
 

Kubuntu 7.10
Bootup and Ubuntu "Boot Menu" comes up and when Kubuntu starts , Error
15: File not found. .....Press any key to continue. I press key and
get same error message.

This is the third time that Kubuntu has crash like this on this Laptop
and I have to reinstall each time.
I have XP, Fedora, and Kubuntu installed on Laptop, Fedora 8 or XP
doesn't have any problems of booting from
Ubuntu Boot Menu, it's just Kubuntu that crashes.

Sounds like an error in how you (or your tool) wrote the sources.list in /boot.

Check settings, it's probably indicating a nonexistant kernel.

You need to somehow find what file it's looking for and where it thinks it is.

Don't repeat things that don't work. Better to do some digging.

If you can send us more details, that will help.

I like how you blame Kubuntu. When did you last upgrade Fedora? This
sounds very much like you're letting both Fedora and Kubuntu update the
MBR, and are surprised by the results!

If you're going to install two Linux distros to the same machine, you're
best off installing grub to the superblock of the respective partitions,
and have grub (or another bootloader) chain to them the same way you chain
to Windows now (fwiw, that's _exactly_ why booting to XP isn't an issue -
and booting to Fedora works because the Ubuntu installer was smart enough
to know it was there. Booting to Ubuntu isn't working because the _Fedora_
installer doesn't know about Ubuntu).

/boot/grub/menu.lst, actually

The problem is;

initrd.img is being changed to a BAK files, (as shown in /boot)

initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic.bak
initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic.dpkg-bak

This is the , (as shown in /boot)

vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic

I did a rescue and performed the below command,

mv initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic.bak initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic

And did a reboot and it booted into Kubuntu-7.10.

WHAT'S CHANGING initrd.img to a BAK file ???
