Hello,
I recently installed Ubuntu using a thumb drive and chose to option to install it as the only OS, removing the previous Windows installation. Everything during the installation seemed to work without a hitch but when it reboots after it's finished, the Vaio logo shows up then goes to a blinking underscore and remains there. The same happens even if I switch the 1st boot priority to the internal hard drive.
If I try to install again, it asks me if I want to delete the previous installation and install again or install another version side by side, so it definitely installed.
Here is what I'm working with:
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 1967 MB, 1967128576 bytes
57 heads, 56 sectors/track, 1203 cylinders, total 3842048 sectors
