Hi,
I would appreciate if someone could direct me in the right direction:
Problem: Installed Ubuntu 10.04, but booting gets stuck on the splash screen
Version: 10.04 (not 10.04.3).
PC: Dual-cpu Xeon 2.53GHz, 2TB HDD, 12GB Ram, XGI Z11M video chipset
Limitations: I have to use only 10.04 and not any other version.
My problem originated with "Blank screen when attempting to install". The problem seems to be the on-board video chipset (XGI Z11M). I followed some suggestions on the forum and used the F6 options to get around that.
1. Now, I installed Ubuntu but it gets stuck on the blank screen (When I try to go to the recovery console, I see the OS installed).
2. I used an ATI FireGL 3100 PCI-e card, but the problem doesn't resolve. (Switched the Bios to use off-board VGA)
3. Ctrl+Alt + F1 doesn't get me to a command prompt.
4. I can go to the recovery console and only get to the command prompt (no networking). Any other option (command prompt with networking, failSafeX mode doesn't work).
Any ideas what I could do to get this working?
Thanks.
