    Angry Ubuntu 12.04 in HP Pavilion dv6 hang on boot after install

    Hi there,

    I have downloaded and installed Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop (32 bits) in my HP Pavilion dv6 lapton. The installation live-cd works pretty well, and all the installation process is fine.

    But when it finish and the laptop reboots, it hangs in a black screen with a blinking cursor.

    No GRUB, no error message.

    I know these are very little details, but I don't know how to be more verbose.

    [SOLVED] Ubuntu 12.04 in HP Pavilion dv6 hang on boot after install

    Problem solved! I'm not sure why, but GRUB was installed in the pendrive and not in the hardisk. I have ejecuted grub-install /dev/sda and now boot perfectly
