Hopefully Matthew's advice this will help you John. Two questions, if you are so willing to part with your cash, have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/support and check out the solutions offered by canonical. Second question, why do you want the recovery kernel to work if your normal kernel is apparently working without any problems? Do you need the recovery kernel for any particular reason? Also, check out the Greater London Linux User Group - http://www.gllug.org.uk/ They too have a mailing list and meetings where I am sure you can take your laptop too for help. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
