I have had a strange experience in upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 on a
Dell Inspiron 1545 also running Vista. I was upgrading from a Ubuntu
8.04 that I thought would be worth reporting/sharing in case others have had a similar experience. last week I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 using the
live cd. Everything seems have gone smoothly. I could log in and out of
ubuntu. After logging into Vista and logging out, the next time I tried to
start the machine, there was a 'segment offset error' with the boot loader
and there was no way of rebooting into anything except to use the Ubuntu live CD and go to
a terminal and reinstall the bootloader. The same thing happened after
logging in to Vista- this seemed to mess with the boot loader. Logging in first time was not a problem.
Yesterday I started again, wiped out 10.10 and re-installed ubuntu but version 10.04.
Logging in and out of Vista is so far ok and I have not had any problems.
I do not have an obvious logical explanation to the sequence of events
unless there is a problem with the boot loader in version 10.10.
