A solution to this issue is posted on Ubuntu forums. See post titled "Stuck with black screen on booting after 10.04 upgrade" See comments #7, 8,9 and 10 especially. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1467235
The solution people found is to boot into the older kernel, and then install a kernel that's even newer than the one that ships with the Lucid 10.04 iso. Seems everything works then. -- Kernel 2.6.32-21.32 fails to boot Dell D505 Laptops beyond splash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568939 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
