I just installed 10.04.1 i386 on the netbook, and it boots, so the netbook doesn't seem to have any hardware defects. It seems like a regression to me.
In case it helps figure things out, the 10.04.1 setup shows the Ubuntu logo when loading up (KMS, I'm assuming), and 10.10 shows Ubuntu and blinking dots in text mode. -- Dell inspiron mini 1010 (Atom Z530 1Gb RAM) won't boot after installing Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/641161 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
