I upgraded from Hardy Heron to 10.04. After a couple of hours of downloading & installing, with a few minutes to go, it crashed (i.e. froze).
Following this, I can boot into 10.04 but with the following restrictions.
1. If I allow the default boot (into kernel 2.6.32-24-generic) then as soon as you try and log in it freezes - or sometimes you *can* login but eth0 doesn't work = no internet access.
2. If I take the "kernel 2.6.32-24-generic (recovery mode)" option then it gives me a few errors, then allows me to login OK (& everything seems to work ok, correct resolution, internet access etc)
3. The CUPS service is not turned on - I can install & turn it on using "sudo apt-get install --reinstall cups" but I need to do that after each boot
4. etc/X11/xorg.conf and etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe are exactly the same (I think I copied failsafe in a vain attempt to fix problem 2 - but no effect)
I also noticed that GRUB was still on 0.97 (I think it's meant to be upgraded to GRUB2 for 10.04). Upgraded to GRUB2 - no difference.
