how to fix "BusyBox v1.17.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.17.1-10ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands?"
- by Joseph
So I was using Ubuntu when suddenly the whole thing froze up and I had to reboot. And from that moment on, the system when it is starting up, prompts this little selection menu:
GNU GRUB version 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-10-generic
ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-10-generic (recovery mode)
Previous Linux versions
Memory test (memtest86+)
Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)
I have chosen all of the available choices but all I get is another command line system that reads:
BusyBox v1.17.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.17.1-10ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs):
And honestly I can't do anything with it.
Does anyone have any idea of what is going on and how I can get Ubuntu to work again?
