Also, in the meantime - to get a usable Linux system. When you boot your machine up, straight after the BIOS screen, you should get a bootloader menu asking you what you'd like to boot into (i.e. Ubuntu, Windows, Solaris - etc, depending what you have installed). There should be several Ubuntus listed there, each with different kernel numbers.<br>
<br>For instance, you might see something like: (if you're only running Ubuntu)<br>Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic<br>Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic (recovery mode)<br>Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic<br>
Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery mode)<br>Ubuntu 8.04.1, memtest86+<br><br>Just choose to boot one of the earlier kernels, in this case it'd be 2.6.22-14.<br><br>If you don't see that menu when you boot up, you may need to press the Esc key just after the BIOS screen.<br>

This one is mainly for Bob, who was asking about USB problems at boot after a<br>
kernel upgrade.<br>

I'm not sure if this email list accepts attachments or not, but it's worth<br>
giving this a go (if it doesn't work, we'll try something else):<br>
<br>
You need to dump your last set of boot messages to a text file, using this<br>
command line:<br>
<br>
cd ; dmesg > dmesg.txt<br>
<br>
This performs 3 operations... first it sets the current directory to be your<br>
home directory (just in case it wasn't anyway), then it retrieves the boot<br>
messages using dmesg, and then it redirects the output to a file called<br>
dmesg.txt. You should then be able to find the resulting dmesg.txt file in<br>
your home area, and attach it to an email to this list.<br>
<br>
