Gateway m520 laptop (stock except for ram upgrade to 1.5 gig)

It was running 9.10 no problems. I decided to go ahead and do the upgrade to 10.04. All appeared to go smoothly, until reboot time. Rebooted to the purple "ubuntu" screen with the little dots under it ok. Then blank screen. No hard drive activity at all. Any help is greatly appreciated :)

I have one ya, but I did the upgrade from the update manager. I normally do fresh installs, but figured I'd give it a shot. Now I know why lots of people say just do a fresh install! :)
