New question #77982 on Ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77982
Hi there. I have a new dual-core Intel E5300 2.6Ghz system with Foxconn G31MX motherboard, 4Gb Ram, 500Gb Hitachi disk and internal DVD/RW. I have ps2 connected keyboard and mouse. I configured it for dual boot with XP Pro and Ubuntu, and I make the selection using Grub. When I select XP Pro, the system always boots up without fail. When I select Ubuntu 9.04, the boot frequently fails for no reason that's obvious to me. Here's what happened this morning.... First cold boot - selected normal boot from grub - failed immediately - system halted and monitor reported "no cable" just after the grub messages Rebooted - selected recovery mode - saw a quick flash of logged text then monitor reported "no cable" and system stopped again Inserted live cd and selected boot in safe graphics mode - booted up ok in low res mode Selected "restart" from the shutdown menu - selected normal boot from grub - failed immediately - monitor reported "no cable" just after the grub messages (again) Switched everything off and did a cold boot again. Failed exactly as the first cold boot did. Switched everything off again, switched on, and did a second cold boot - succeeded! I really, really, really need your help to figure out what's going on here! I don't seriously think there's anything wrong with my hardware as everything works normally in XP, and indeed in Ubuntu once I get the system started. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
