It hangs when I try to use the newest kernel 2.6.38-8-generic (even in recovery mode, gets stuck at ramdisk loading), but I can boot in the previous kernel 2.6.35-28-generic. As requested many times before, here is my results.txt that has been requested in the many other threads:

What is the problem when you boot into the old kernel?

What is the problem when you boot into the old kernel?

For 1 the wireless internet is super intermittent (terrible) & is very frustrating. Next when I try to install some of the packages that were removed, i.e. apache2, I get an warning about "You are about to install software that cannot be authenticated. Audio mixer is jacked up. I have to rig it to play audio everytime I want to play something. The list goes on my man. I'm not trying to make a long list of what doesn't work.

The problem is I upgraded & now I can't boot the new kernel like lots of others.

From my limited experience I'm thinking the issues I'm having using the old Kernel will be resolved using the new one.

with that said, any insight on how to load the kernel?

Read the thread - I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 by wifi dongle on an extra desktop (so uses wifi as no spare ethernet in the room) did the upgrade, and whilst the new version works in the main (much slower on boot, and hate the unity desktop - now takes a lot longer to do the same things how I do them) but now the wifi usb no longer works - so no internet. Can't fix it so did a clean install back to 10.04 - which also has the wifi issue with my dongle, but at least I can do some non internet work.

Try before you install, like the post says!
