Hello,

I am having this error after the grub

<code>
udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured.
udevadm settle is not permitted while udev is unconfigured.
svgalib: cannot open /dev/mem
</code>

after I upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic. I upgraded with
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get dist-upgrade

Any hints what should I do?

Sorry I can't really help with your problem, as the horse has left the
barn, so to speak..... but for future reference, and anyone reading
this, *never* dist-upgrade ubuntu. (maybe ubuntu should patch apt-get
to throw up warnings when people try this?)

Rather, use one of the ubuntu upgrade scripts, available in gui and
console flavors (usually for Ubuntu server systems)
