After doing a clean 10.04 install (Ubuntu only, no Windows), I cannot get past the BIOS screen. When booting from the live CD, I am able to run "boot_info_script*.sh" (see below). I have tried re-installing GRUB2 following instructions on help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 , but after rebooting I am back to the blank screen. Does this have something to do with my "core.img" file being in the wrong place?
