"end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 212886687" - this suggests
that there could be a corruption of the filesystem or damage to the
disk itself. Although windows boots up ok, the damage may have
affected an area of the disk only used by Ubuntu. If you edit your
/etc/fstab and comment out other partitions (home etc.) to see if
booting works any better with just the one partition it would be
useful - then we would know which partitions are actually causing
the problem, or if it is an issue with the disk in general.<br>
