Re: Share with the community your gutsy install/upgrade experience
Installed fresh on my laptop.
During boot from HD, the screen remains dark for a couple of minutes. Every now and then, there is a little disk activity.
After 5 minutes, the 'Gnome' login screen appears and the system is working normally. Everything before that was just a black screen.
I went into /boot/grub/menu.lst and removed the 'quiet splash' parameters to see more messages and find out what it is doing all that time.
However, with 'quiet' and 'splash' removed, it is booting like a charm. About as fast as 7.04.
It seems I have stumbled upon a workaround.
cheers
