It seems that the "nosplash" workaround fixes kernel 2.6.22-14 booting on ubuntu gutsy RC.
on Gutsy 1) edit the grub menu file: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst 2) find the line that says kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=289068d7-1370-4197-9c9c-0158604be66b ro quiet splash 3)change the splash to nosplash - afterwards the line looks like this kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=289068d7-1370-4197-9c9c-0158604be66b ro quiet nosplash This fixed my box - home it helps others. -- [EM64T][gutsy beta] When booting gutsy, screen stays black. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147623 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
