| 1162856 | 2010-12-19 02:11:00 | Open up a terminal and run the "dmesg" command, that should list the boot messages and the errors you speak of. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1162857 | 2010-12-19 05:12:00 | dmesg brought up a lot of log data, but didn't mention anything on modprobe. The error message was something like modprobe: FATAL error /path/to/file/that/I/can't/remember not found, no such file or directory. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 1162858 | 2010-12-19 07:30:00 | From the terminal, do: dmesg | grep modprobe Then highlight the lot with your mouse Now, post back in your browser by middle-mouse-clicking. It's kind of a secondary copy / paste. |

| 1162859 | 2010-12-19 07:39:00 | Tried that, returned bupkis. Managed to snag a photo of the error though; www.imagef1.net.nz Exact text is: modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-23-generic/modules.dep: No such file or directory Then it's repeated. |

| 1162860 | 2010-12-19 07:48:00 | Never mind, it's a known bug; bugs.launchpad.net Looks like some newer dev releases fix it, I'll wait for the stable release. |

| 1162862 | 2010-12-20 10:44:00 | bugs.launchpad.net I understand the first half of that, but I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to the other bit: "Then use Synaptic to reinstall initramfs-tools" Can you elaborate on it? |

| 1162863 | 2010-12-20 10:53:00 | Synaptic Package Manager Search for the package "initramfs-tools" and tell it to reinstall it. |

| 1162864 | 2010-12-20 10:54:00 | Legend! | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 1162865 | 2010-12-20 10:57:00 | Or simply open a terminal and type $ sudo aptitude reinstall initramfs-tools :) |
