I now see this when i boot up. I just restarted my pc and now i get this.
It isn’t booting a kernel, you’re in the bootloader.
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
If that doesn’t help boot with a live-cd or rescue, and check that your grub config points to a valid kernel.
Your hdd might be the culprit but it’s very hard to say from that screen. Maybe the one previously that can show your boot command
I think I remember that a non geek friend of mine had good luck with this for fixing their Grub : https://www.supergrubdisk.org
Another option : https://www.system-rescue.org/disk-partitioning/Repairing-a-damaged-Grub/
You broke grub
Achievement unlocked.
If you can fix it you unlock another one. If you manage to boot the system without using a rescue USB pen you unlock another one.
Eventually Linus himself will come and personally re-write your cfg file for you
Can you give a little more background info? What distro are you using, are you dual booting, is it a new install, did you make changes to your kernel, your partitions or grub before that?
While it’s clear that grub couldn’t find a kernel to boot, we need these Infos to help you find a solution.
Im using kde I did not even use my pc the last few days I came home it froze and when i rebooted i got this I do NOT have any duel boot
You may want to replace the disk on that computer after you fix your boot. (As people said, with a recovery drive, probably the same one you use to install.)
After your computer is back, get a SMART client (like smartmontools) and check your disk status.
Pretty unhelpful responses so far. Enter
exit
to exit the current screen and return to a selection of installed OS/Kernels. You should be able to boot normally from there on. Once logged in, try
update-grub
which should repair your bootloader config.
