My 10.04LTS became Read-Only so I wanted to reboot this virtual machine. Then I couldn't get it back up running.
VirtualBox threw Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
error.
I did the kernel re-setup:
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
* Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
* Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS [ OK ]
* Starting VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
I can't even use sudo
in this state. What can I do?
(initframfs) /dev/sda1
/bin/sh: /dev/sda1: Permission denied
(initframfs) /dev/sda2
/bin/sh: /dev/sda3: Permission denied
(initframfs) /dev/sda3
/bin/sh: /dev/sda1: not found
I have a similar image so I can check the disks setting if needed. Please help me. Thanks.
I have an older version of VirtualBox: 4.0.8 something like that. But other vms on the same VirtualBox are working fine.
UPDATE
I can hold down SHIFT
key and see the GURU menu. Only one kernel exists.
