10.04 installation problem

[windowsfree]

I have posted my issue about my install problem. Since I see a lot more posts with the same issue, do you think Ubuntu will work on this and release anything to correct the problem. Guess I will stay with 9.04 awhile longer.

Interesting ... all these install and boot problems. I've installed and been using Lucid as my primary OS on my 64-bit HP Pavilion dv7 laptop since the Lucid beta became available (Karmic and Winlose 7 Ultimate on other partitions as "back-ups"). There were no problems with installation (including grub) and I have not encountered any in it's daily use. Granted I've only been "trialing" it as a normal "entry level" (entry level for each new upgrade, that is) user would but have not tried any particularly exotic programs such as games and such. But ... everything that would be used by the regular day-to-day user, including suggested hardware driver upgrades (particularly the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver) and wireless, just worked "out of the box" so to speak. Am I not doing this "trial" thing right?

That said, I will be installing Lucid on an older 32-bit Dell desktop later this week and will come back with any problems I encounter ... as well as any solutions to those problems ... provided I come up with any, that is ...

And ... I am very much looking forward to beta releases of Maverick when they become available. I really get a kick out of hanging out here at the "edge of the known universe" ...

I have used the same Disc to install on an old "home brew" computer and it installed with no problem. I guess it is a video hardware issue.

Same problem for me upgrading from 9.04 version to 10.04 and also making a fresh installation. I have a intel integrated chip aswell.... this seems to be the common issue.
