can't boot maverick in aspire one

[bobmounger]

neither from update manager or live usb pendrive. Can I make liveusb of lucid & delete maverick partition & reinstall? is mbrfix better? I have an ubuntu partion & an xp partition. install from update manager just hangs with orange screen after login. pendrive boot hangs with black screen with syslinux line.

I found this in the archives

Which I was able to use to roll back to 10.04.

Lesson learned: never upgrade until it is LTS & then test with a penlinux usb before you do it.

Maybe next year I'll look at maverick again, but for now lucid is the one for me,
