Please cancel the second Item of this message : I could load easily 
Ubuntu 9.10.
I had no additional order to print as e.g. clocksource=jiffies.
It's the first time I could do it so easily...Ubuntu makes improvements.
Thanks


Please note that due to an updating of yesterday 7/11/09, my desk 
computer again could not restart as some months ago (I still have Ubuntu 
8.04 LTS).

I had to reload 8.04 and modify again the starting by adding 
''clocksource=jiffries''.
Now it can start, stop, and restart.

Note also that I tried to load Ubuntu 9.10 from a DVD.
I have seen the small disc Ubuntu blinking and apparently a lot of files 
have been loaded from the DVD. But at the end, I got a black screen and 
any attempt to do something was impossible excepted switching off the 
power line.
