After an upgarde from 12.04 I can not boot with the 12.10 kernel.
I only can boot after select the 12.04 kernel at boot. After that everything works well
With a fresh install I need to boot the live cd with nomodeset option active and after the instalation I can not boot.
What I can do to try to find the problem?

Sounds like you need to boot into recovery and add the "nomodeset" until you get your video driver installed.

With the nomodeset option I can not select the correct screen resolution for my laptop.
The graphic card is a ati radeon x2300 and is not suported in the propritary drivers anymore.

There are another thing I can do or I need to stay with 12.04 release?

I would just use the older kernel for now and give it a day or two. Check for updates.

Ok, thanks.

Another two questions:

1 - How can I make the older kernel default at boot?

2 - How can I see if this problem was reported to developers and report it if not been done?

Found the information for the 1st question

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/ChangeDefaultOS

Now I can see the grub boot menu everytime I boot and I can change the kernel I want to boot

I have the same problem, is there a solution to get 12.10 working on kernel 3.5??

Also in mycase, nomodeset is not working for 3.5, everything works if I stay in 3.2!

Thanks

Back to 12.04

I do not think the problem will be solved in the 3.5 or 3.6 kernel (lack of suport for "old" ati boards).

My laptop is not very old and is fast on Linux or Windows ( I don't need a new one)

I hope the raring kernel will have the problems solved
