I've only really used Debian and Debian variants before and then only on either a virtual box or raspberry Pi.
I'm trying to install the server variant of Ubuntu onto a Samsung N150 plus netbook (1GB ram, 150GB HDD)



In the install for some reason it wouldn't install GRUB it just said fatal error so I installed LILO (version 24 I think) but after that the install completed successfully.
As I have a another windows PC, I let it use the whole disk to install too.
On the first boot up it gives the following error:




[ 2.913376] input: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad as devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:

-boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)

-check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)

-check root= (did the system boot to the right device?)

-missing modules (cat /proc/modules; Is /dev)

ALERT! /dev/sdb1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

After that there was a pause (maybe 30 mins) just as I finished typing out the above it added two more lines on below:

[ 1292.492081] INFO: NMI handler (perf_event_nmi_handler) too long to run: 3.302 msecs

(initramfs)




I've tried googling the problem but most of the time it doesn't seem to happen on first boot very often. Most of the solutions involve changing code on a 'live cd.' I installed from a pen drive and when I boot from that the option is to run the install again but I don't see anywhere to access the terminal.



Any help would be much apprechiated!

Use a live USB and boot your system.



Make sure you can mount your main partition in which your Ubuntu is installed. Lets assume it is /dev/sda1



Unmount that partition (NECESSARY). Now run this command which will fix errors in partition:



sudo fsck -a /dev/sda1


Make sure you you can mount the partition. Restart your system. it should work now.



(I faced with this problem today, I did exactly same thing and problem solved)
