when it gets past the splash there is a box that pops up that says low graphics mode, but it freezes there and I can't do anything-- it effectively will not boot at all.
I'm pretty new to linux so any help would be appreciated--
on another note, when I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 I opted to not upgrade the grub loader because I was afraid of losing my windows boot-- so after it upgraded the menu never showed the new kernel, but I could boot in to 8.10 via the old kernel anyways- (strange?)-- well, the jaunty update is the same thing-- there is no kernel on the menu showing Jaunty, so I just chose the first kernel on the menu which was the original 8.04... (which had previously booted into 8.10), and were back to the top (of this post)...
I'm pretty tempted to just delete everything and start over again but I don't know how to do that.. as of now the only thing working on my laptop is windows
