I upgraded to the latest kernel (on Ubuntu, 3.0.0.17), and ran into problems. The computer never got into graphic mode, and the screen got stuck on part of the initialization process.
The computer was running, and was reachable from another machine by ssh, but I could not run it from the keyboard and screen attached to it. To resolve it, I edited /etc/default/grub and changed #GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 to GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1, which allows me to select an older kernel. I suspect the problem is with the Nvidia driver for my graphic card, but I am not sure. Questions: 1. How do I isolate the problem? 2. How do I repair it once I do (I know it depends on the problem, so there may not be an answer yet, but then again, maybe there is a mechanism to edit the boot process as a way to troubleshoot). 3. Why does my computer works fine with 3.0.0.16, but not 3.0.0.17? Thanks, Z.
