Public bug reported: I used to have an older version of Ubuntu installed (I think 9.04) and wanted to check 11.04. I installed using the liveCD while erasing the old installation.
At first the liveCD could not finish boot, ending up with a black screen. Then I started passing the following boot parameters, which allowed it to open the desktop environment: acpi=off noapic nolapic nodmraid nomodtest I used it to install 11.04 on my hard drive. Since then, I cannot boot into the ubuntu partition. Neither the normal, nor the rescue option finish boot successfully. I booted into the liveCD again, chrooted to my hard drive, and ran apt- get update && apt-get upgrade, but it didn't help. When the computer is stuck during boot, it gives me a black screen, and responds to nothing. No option to get to console, and Caps Lock light isn't responding. I ran the `ubuntu-bug` utility for sending this bug report on the liveCD, as I currently can't start from the hard drive partition, so I guess it's xorg logs won't show why it couldn't load on the other partition.
