If I put the Desktop CD in and boot my machine, without pressing any keys in the process, all I see is this:
1. BIOS info screen (big ThinkPad logo) 2. Purple 'press a key for accessibility' screen 3. Black screen with cursor in top corner What do I need to do during this process to see the messages you are after? I have done further debugging: I tried an Oneiric amd64 Daily build from Yesterday, it has the exact same problem. I also tried a 10.04.2 LTS amd64 Desktop CD, which works fine (although it doesn't support my monitor resolution). So I was able to install 10.04.02 LTS on my laptop. I then went through Upgrade Manager to upgrade it to 10.10. After my system rebooted, it has the same problem as 11.04 - the blank screen. BUT, at GRUB I have two Kernel options, so I selected the older one and it booted up into ttl1 console - no GUI, but at least I got a console. So I can now run commands on the box, under 10.10. It is prompting me to upgrade to Natty, so I might give that a go later today and see how far that gets me. The two Kernel options under 10.10 are: BLANK SCREEN - 2.6.35-30-generic CONSOLE ONLY - 2.6.32-28-generic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/806434 Title: Unable to install 11.04 amd64 on a ThinkPad L520 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/806434/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
