OK, after a bit of help, I realized that the x86_64 kernels are also in the amd64.deb files. Therefore, the following files were downloaded and installed on my laptop:
linux-headers-2.6.35-020635rc1-generic_2.6.35-020635rc1_amd64.deb linux-image-2.6.35-020635rc1-generic_2.6.35-020635rc1_amd64.deb linux-source-2.6.35_2.6.35-020635rc1_all.deb My system booted up this time without the blank screen, using the 2.6.35-020635rc1-generic kernel, however, a new error appearing during the boot process: "ureadahead main process 366 terminated with status 5" is this a bug or problem in the new kernel that anyone is aware of? ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing -- Applying linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic package to Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) causes the Dell E6510 screen to be black. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628986 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
