Bruno, I already lost my 9.3 Ubuntu because of its failure to boot,
leading me to reinstall it and then upgrade to 9.10; I do not know how
to make /home on a different partition, I'll look that up later. I will
download a 9.10 CD image this week.
Marco, I was looking on the bug sub-page for LaunchPad, I'll look at the
answers page tonight.
Phil, I've examined my /boot/grub/menu.lst, there is no 'search...'
line; I am not sure what you mean about the grub config
Thank you for your help.

My Ubuntu PC has been flakey lately.
I booted it up after maybe two months and I only got a grey screen
after the system started.
So I reinstalled everything, it worked, it confirmed to upgrade to
9.10 and I accepted.
Now it does not boot at all. Well it boots but then ABEND's.
I saw a message about video flash by, so I searched the Web for info
on my monitor got a suggestion about adding "i915.modeset=0" to the
kernel line of the boot up process and within the grub menu list file.
When I rebooted the video message was replaced by one about waiting
for a device. I thought it did not like the mount point I made to the
WinXP PC so I managed to get into a command line and restore the
original version - thank god for a backup file!
But the reboot gave the same thing, waiting for a device. I only see
this message if I interrupt the boot process and get into the
'recovery' mode boot up and let it run single lines (I think that is
what I did).
I found an Ubuntu blog which described my exact issue but the page did
not help.

Are there any suggestions from the group?
