View Full Version : [lubuntu] Fails at Grub after update to 11.10

I would appreciate some help with a similar issue (
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1903901)I have after upgrading from 10.10 to 11.10 (lubuntu).
10.10 worked fine after install and after the updates loaded. Then after I did a reboot after the upgrade was done, the screen goes to psychedelic snow and my Caps lock and Scroll lock lights keep flashing - nothing happens.

I've made a copy of the boot record similar to the original query using the live CD, but am too much of a rookie to know what is going on.

I do have to note that I previously tried to install Xubuntu 11.10 and Kubuntu 11.10 from a live DVD - with the same problem.

History of the drive is it started with Ubunutu 8 and upgraded all the way to 11.10, then I tried a dual boot with openSuse. This did not work so I played around with openSuse that worked fine (apart from sound), which is why I decided to go back to the good old trusted Ubuntu.

Hope someone can help.
Apologies for the new post - the other had a SOLVED tag and I'm not quite sure how the admin on those work.
