I encountered the same problem after updating from Intrepid to Karmic. The computer hangs immediately after Grub, with an underline cursor blinking at the top-left position A **workaround is to select version 2.6.28 of the kernel** in Grub instead of version 2.6.31.
I've also tried a fresh install, but as reported above, the installation hangs immediately after selecting the language. -- Can't install Ubuntu 9.10, hangs before installing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459198 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
