After update ubuntu 10.4 won't boot

Brii,

I suggest you enter the following from the command line:

sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic && reboot

This should remove the new kernel and reboot the computer on the previous kernel. (I am assuming that the previous kernel is still installed and in good working order.)

Damn. Still getting the same thing. I boot into ubuntu and it flashes then goes black. ><

Also FYI Now I'm in kernel 2.6.32-22

Thanks a bunch. I really appriciate it.

First - boot into recovery, and run "aptitude purge psb-kernel-source". It should remove the buggy old version. Also remove /etc/x11/xorg.conf (but do a backup first, poulsbo-config should install it but always play safe).
Second - reinstall the latest kernel. I am on 2.6.32-24, and it works well on my 1101HA.
Third - reinstall the packages - "sudo apt-get install psb-kernel-source"; if not enough, do also a "sudo apt-get install poulsbo-driver-2d poulsbo-driver-3d poulsbo-config".

If it still fails, please post the errors you get when installing the packages.

Also, as a last resource you can do:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:gma500/ppa && sudo apt-get update
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gma500/ppa && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install poulsbo-driver-2d poulsbo-driver-3d poulsbo-config

Hey, it worked! Thanks a lot to everyone who helped. I learned a lot. =D

Thanks again.

This did the trick for me also. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I have exactly the sane problem, i.e. I was naive and downloaded the new kernel through the update mamager. Now I can not get into any recovery facility because grub is not displayed even I press ESC. The recovery mode does not take me out of the blinking screen. What can I do!??

Thank you
