View Full Version : [SOLVED] Fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 hangs after reboot

Okay, be forewarned that I am extremely new to Ubuntu and Linux in general.

I'm on an HP Pavillion dv1000 laptop. I used a live CD to install Ubuntu 10.10 to an external USB hard drive. The install completed successfully, but after a reboot I am stuck on a black screen with a white cursor. Before that I see nothing but the initial HP startup screen. I am able to run the live CD without problems, and I have been running Ubuntu from a 4GB thumb drive (which I installed on using the same live CD that I used to install on my current external hard drive). I had no problems whatsoever running from the CD or thumb drive, so I can't figure out why the external hard drive would be so different. I have combed the forums and not found anything helpful. Please help - I really need to get this up and running ASAP!

Hi and welcome to the forums :-)

What graphics card do you have installed?

Do you get the black screen AFTER or BEFORE the GRUB menu?

Thanks for the welcome and the quick response! :)

Okay, as I said, I'm a noob, so hopefully I found what you need. This is what I got from lspci:

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)


I get stuck at the screen before the GRUB menu.

If this is happening before the GRUB menu it could indicate a couple of things; either you need to set the boot device priority in BIOS to the external drive and/or GRUB was not installed to the correct MBR.

Please post the results of the boot info script. There is a link at the bottom of my post with instructions.

Thanks.

The problem shouldn't be with the boot order, as I have USB drive as the top priority.

Here are the results of the Boot Info Script (/dev/sdc is the external drive I am having issues with):


Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010

============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================

=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in
partition #1 for (,msdos1)/boot/grub.
=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb and looks on the same drive in
partition #1 for (,msdos1)/boot/grub.
=> No boot loader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdc

This is probably the problem:



=> No boot loader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdc

What happened when you installed and it came time to install the bootloader?

Theoretically, reinstalling GRUB to the MBR of sdc should fix it:

I was able to fix the GRUB install using the directions in the link you provided. The first two methods didn't work for me, but luckily the third one (using chroot) worked perfectly. Thank you so much for you help! :) There's no way I could have figured this out on my own.

No problem, you are more than welcome :-)

I am pleased you got this sorted out. Yes, sometimes the chroot method is needed if the other 2 don't work.

Enjoy!
