Comment 38 for bug 430272

I fixed it somehow...Many steps and I don't know if I remember them all.First...press e on recovery to edit.change ro single to rw init=/bin/bash.Then type dhclient eth0 (connect an ethernet cable first if you havent already).If it manages to connect (which it should) type aptitude update and then aptitude upgrade.It will update (mine failed a few packages because something was not mounted...I dont know exactly what happened).After this I tried to boot using the latest kernel but it froze sayin somethin about kernel panic......initramfs....vsync....I dont remember exactly.Anyway I chose the previous kernel in recovery mode run fsck, rebooted again with the previous kernel in recovery and the options were there.I chose make free space then fsck and then resume normal boot and I got in kde.I ran aptitude again aptitude autoremove apt-get autoclean apt-get autoremove aptitude update aptitude upgrade and all that stuff...rebooted with new kernel and after a few messages I got in....Hope it helps.
