Little update I managed to find out: Ubuntu 9.10 works fine, I upgraded to 10.04 and booted its kernel and it didn't boot. I went back to the old 9.10's kernel (2.6.31-22-generic-pae according to uname -r) and it booted fine. I then upgraded to 10.10 and its kernel still doesn't boot. Again, 9.10's works like a charm, in fact I'm using it in my current Ubuntu 10.10 with the most recent nVidia graphics drivers (v. 260?)
I then thought: "what if it's a general kernel issue and no kernel newer than 2.6.31 works on my laptop?" So I downloaded an .iso image for another distribution, OpenSUSE, the most recent stable release (11.3), and it works just fine. It's kernel version seems to be 2.6.36, according to http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=kernel- desktop&baseproject=openSUSE:11.3&exclude_filter=home:&exclude_debug=true I'm not sure if this means anything to you, but I thought It'd be good to share the knowledge. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629353 Title: cannot boot into live desktop or installer in 10.10 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
