I didn't address this immediately, but will do my best to tell it:

Upgraded from 10.x, first time using gui in updater, and upon boot now, the text scrolls by quickly, the screen blanks out, then blinks a few times, then gets the load page very briefly, finally rebooting to Grub.

I can boot from previous version menu in Grub, which is also 11.04.

The kernels listed in Grub:
Grub Main Menu: 2-6-38-8-generic pae
Grub previous version menu: 2-6-38-8-generic

I don't really know what to do or if this problem even can be repaired. I did search before posting, sorry if I missed it.
