Ubuntu 11.04 64 clean install will not boot

[Gildindaimoth]

As an introduction, yes I have gone over these forums and google galore to find an answer, none to be found.

I was having some troubles installing windows 7 (install hang with no solution) and decided Ubuntu might be a decent route to install windows, or maybe I'd be satisfied and stay with Ubuntu.

Downloaded the official version of 11.04 AMD64, burnt the iso to DVD using windows, and went through the installation process (Having already formatted the drive), only to find that once I removed the installation media, as prompted, I was greeted with a blinking cursor in the top left corner.

There were no errors during the installation and I can boot using the liveCD no problem.

I am installing this on a 2.8ghz i7 processor, 8GB of DDR3, and installing it on a 120GB SSD.

This is my first crack at any linux distro

Thanks

Hi, welcome to the fora.

It sounds like you need to add boot options. There are some links explaining how to in this thread:

Hi there. Well, I might have blamed graphics but you can run the live CD ok. So I may have to blame the boot-loader instead. Or the mysterious issue that is preventing Windows 7 from installing. Windows will usually install to anything. Any more info about that?

More details of your system would be helpful. Would you boot from CD and download and run this: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and post the RESULTS.txt file here (inside code tags - use # button)?
