Hi all I'm still having issues with Karmic I've tried the following, would first suggest to try the nomodeset boot parameter.
Press and hold down Shift key from Bios screen until you see the Grub menu. Highlighting the first entry there, press 'e' to edit it. Using arrow keys, navigate to "quiet splash" delete them and type "nomodeset" in their place (without quotes). Press Ctrl + X to continue boot. Lets see if you can get to the desktop this time. Or if that doesn't help, repeat the same process, just don't delete "quiet splash" and type "acpi=off" at the end of that line (without quotes). Press Ctrl + X to continue boot. I was able to edit that line with quiet splash and when I do ctrl x at the end of the it comes up with mounting /sys on/ root/sys failed: no such file mounting/ proc on/root/proc failed: no such file Targer file system doesn't have /sbin/init No init found.
