Invalid ROM Contents preventing boot on MacBook

  • 772

I'm booting Ubuntu from rEFInd on a 15" MacBook Pro. For a long time I haven't had a problem, but just now booting has been hanging on the error

Invalid ROM Contents

This seems to happen when it attempts to mount /dev/sda3 which is the Ubuntu partition. I've read that this may be related to graphics and I can boot an older version of the Kernel without graphics, however nothing else that I have read has helped and I am at a loss as to what to do. Any suggestions for fixing this error?

    Reinstalling the nvidia drivers seems to have fixed the problem. Boot headless (you can probably use one of the backup kernels).

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-310
