I'm on an HP Mini 311, when I hold shift at startup, grub loads, and then the OS choices show up. The only OS I have installed is Ubuntu 10.04, but there is also recovery mode and memtest in the options. When I select 10.04, I get the blinking cursor of death, and when I choose it in recovery mode, I get a bunch of code then the cursor of death. Memtest loads fine, Ubuntu loads well from the live USB. Also, here is my boot info:
