From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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

It depends, is this a new install? Did you just update something?
