Check the disk for errors on next reboot:<br>
touch /forcefsck<br>
<br>
If the problem carries on check for errors in the logs in
/var/log/fsck - hopefully there should be something providing an
indication of what the problem is. From the sound of it, it seems
you haven't even got past grub - try reinstalling grub:<br>
sudo grub-install /dev/sdX<br>
where X is your disk (you can find out more about disks by running
fdisk -l) , and then<br>
sudo update-grub.<br>
<br>
<br>
Hope this helps somewhat<br>
