Hi,
Wondering if anyone could shed any insight into the problem I'm having. Had been running Jaunty for a while, but thought I'd go for a clean install of Lucid. After stumbling over an I/O error before installation (solved by burning live cd to a CD-R instead of RW), I finally managed to the installer, and everything seems to go through ok, but then after ejecting and rebooting I'm always brought to a blank, black screen, with a flashing white cursor.
I've tried installing Karmic instead, but to no avail. I've tried various nomodeset/ i915 modeset changes that some people seem to have success with. Truth be told I'm very new to all this, and I'm really at a loss to what to do. I didn't even have the "ro" before the "quiet splash" in the command line that most other posts mention.
Cheers!
Edit; just tried to install my original copy of Jaunty, which now has the same problem!
