I have an HP625 notebook with AMD64 Athlon processors, and I was running the amd64 version of Ubuntu 10.10.
The upgrade to 11.04 went smoothly aside from a worrying error warning me that the BLCR kernel module could not be installed.
Despite that, the computer restarted without problems and allowed me to log in. It took about two minutes to log in (almost instant with 10.10), but at least it worked. Ubuntu Classic worked as well, though the graphics were a bit broken (lines on the screen and stuff). Also, I had to restart the computer a second time before I could log in with Ubuntu Classic.
Since the third restart, the display goes blank (but not out) before reaching the login screen, which also happens when booting into single user mode. The last message on screen before this happens announces it is loading the cpufreq module.
I'm close to reinstalling 11.04 to a different partition, but first I'd like to find out if this is fixable. (I have a flash drive with Puppy 5.2.8, which is currently the only way the computer will run at all).
