I'm also on a Compaq Presario 2200 notebook. I've just upgraded to 10.04 and so I only have the option of the downloading the Ubuntu 2.6.32-21 or 2.6.32-22 kernel. I can bring the system up slowly--i.e. from GRUB, choose to start in single user mode then go to multiuser w/o GUI--with no problems until I force gdm to start. Then it freezes/black screen as above.
So from single user mode, also I viewed my logs, and it doesn't seem that anything for booting to GUI mode. It must crash very early in the boot process? I can try and provide more info if necessary, as this is still labeled Incomplete. -- Boot fails after kernel upgrade to 2.6.32-21generic on Ubuntu Lucid Beta2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566162 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
