** Description changed:
I had been using Ubuntu 8.04 without any problems on my Dell Inspiron
since it's release in April. Having such great success, I decided to
give the alpha of 8.10 a go to see what would happen. I followed the
upgrade procedure from within Hardy (update-manager -d), everything
downloaded fine, installed fine, then prompted to reboot. I did so,
tried booting into the new kernel (alpha 5 kernel, sorry I don't know
the number, only what alpha version I upgraded to) and the boot hangs.
The boot procedure goes as follows: Grub loads fine and recognizes all
partitions (1 windows XP, 2 Intrepid Alpha tests including the memory
test, last working version and so on...), Ubuntu splash shows and I see
the different parts loading in text below Ubuntu splash logo, the
loading bar maxes out and the screen flickers like normal, then I see a
flashing underscore (like used in terminal). Then everything just
stops. I let the computer sit for close to 20 minutes and nothing moved
or changed. I can't type anything, nor do any of the keys including the
power button work.
Sorry for the noobish bug report, but with a little instruction I'd be
more than happy to give you whatever information I have.
1) Intrepid Alpha 5
2) Not sure of the package, can't interact with system.
3) What I expect to happen:
I expect the system to go to the login screen where I can input my
username and password
4) What happens instead:
- The system hangs after the splash screen finishes and the system
supposedly loads.
+ The system hangs after the splash screen finishes.
