After upgrading my Ubuntu machine from ver. 11.10 to 12.04, I get the following error and the machine stop working before any graphical environment:

** (plymouthd:357): WARNING **: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=530c973a1fe4d1e1e6bd... 
--binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: Autolaunch error:
X11 initialization failed.\n
udevd[397]: specified group 'colord' unknown
The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present.
Continue to wait, or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.

Any help appreciated.

I just updated from 11.10 to 12.04, with no major problems (it took a while to get past a request to restart ssh, mysql and some other services, but I did no fiddling by myself, everything was done by the installer). However, after restarting, grub can't do anything. Picking the new linux installation… >>> More
