It can't possibly be the X server, not right after the bootloader countdown! I've seen the exact same behaviour with a notebook here. Try this: press escape during countdown to access the grub boot menu. Keeping the default kernel selected, press E to enter edit mode, jump on the line starting with "kernel" and press E again to edit that line. Finally, from the end of the line, remove "quiet" and "splash" parameters. Press ENTER and then B to boot. You will boot in text mode and if your situation is like mine, all should start ok.
What I think happens here is that during installation, a wrong graphic mode is selected for the boot process. The boot is also really really slow, but is extremely fast when using this trick. -- ubuntu 7.10 and ATI = black screen? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156341 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
