[ale] ubuntu upgrade issues

[Jim Kinney]

Sounds like grub didn't actually load properly. You'll need to use a live CD
to get back in. Once in, chroot to the real system and run grub-install with
the correct HD settings (most often is hd0:0 but Ubuntu uses the new grub2
so that changed to hd1:0 - drives number from 1 but partitions number from 0
- thanks GNU!)

Check back with M.Trouch's presentation on grub2 from about a year ago.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
