If I remember correctly, when Ubuntu is the only OS on the machine, GRUB doesn't show you a menu until you have some fallback. There is a setting for "silent" in the GRUB configuration file.
My guess is that GRUB is trying to load the operating system, but you need NOAPIC or some such boot parameter. Surf the Web and find the location of the GRUB menu file, I don't know it off the top of my head. Boot from the CD, then edit the GRUB file and make sure it isn't set to be SILENT. That should get you a little farther. There was an ugly time in Wintel hardware a few years back where everybody did something different with the A20 line and everyone had their own APIC quirks. You should also look at your BIOS to check if SMART is enabled on the drives as sometimes that causes problems. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ubuntu Linux" group.
