Re: [LUG] Ubuntu 7.04

 

Hi Mark

Thank you for your reply.

I updated both machines from 6.10.  Both will now boot, my main computer
will boot 2.6.20-15 (but so slowly), my lappy will only boot 2.6.17-10.

However if I use the recovery mode, even if the boot fails I get lots of
error messages, which should allow me (us?) to sort things out.

I will probably have a session with one of them tomorrow, and if un
successful I will annotate my results and ask here.

Thanks

Peter
