...Black screen disaster following update to 11.04...PLEASE HELP!!!

[tonewheelkev]

Upgraded on-line from 10.04 to 10.10 this morning....went OK I think!

Was offered option to upgrade further to 11.04...and went for it!!

Returned later to a blank screen.....unable to wake the machine....no disk activity :(

Now have some function via a live CD......any thoughts on how I can proceed from here?

I would like to persevere with the 'upgrade' route, as a fresh install will result in much loss of files :confused:

........Please help if you can!!
