Public bug reported:
I dist-upgraded one of the installations on my laptop to Edgy and ever
since, I am unable to boot into the system. For a couple of minutes
there is the usplash, and then there is a blank black screen that has a
blinking cursor. I waited for 15 minutes or so, several times, but the
system does not boot.
I have tried doing a ctrl+alt+f1 etc to see if I can get to the console
where the messages are shown as the system boots - however the keyboard
shortcut does not switch me to the console. In short, the system does
not boot, and I have no way of seeing what is going wrong.
The only "suspicious" hardware I have on this system is the bcm4318
(broadcom) network adapter (Wireless) that I had to use with ndiswrapper
in Dapper.
Though this is an AMD64 system, I use the -generic kernel (at least that
is what I am trying to boot into). On dapper, I used a -k7 kernel.
Please let me know if I can provide any information. Please also let me
know how to get the information. A photo with a digital camera would
show a dark screen with a blicking cursor, right now. :)
Thank you.
