ok help I installed ubuntu wiping my hard drive completely and it instlled fine and it was fine i played around a bit got tired and and went to bed
next day (today) i wake up do the things you do and then booted up my Pc I got to the black screen with the orange UBUNTU and the loading bar and the writing at the bottom the writhing got to "loading hardware drivers and then stopped. i left it for about half an hour and then came back... it was still the same . So i tried re-installing it from the live cd And it has done the same thing again Please help me Thanx Mort |
I am assuming that it does work from the live CD.
Is that correct? If so my guess ( and it's only a guess ) is that when you choose to install it to hard disc you may be setting some option wrongly. Hope that helps. |
PCI controller?
Have you an PCI harddisk controller? Might be the cause. Boot from CD, try to find your hard disk and post content of /etc/fstab here.
|
HAHAH i'm sorry you must be mistaking me for a person who knows anything more than how to use basic boring easy programs!
help a what controller and post what where? |
Well, let's ask the question the other way: to what is your hard disk connected? Is it a SATA or a IDE harddisk? If you don't know open the case.
Post the content of /etc/fstab (a text file) of your Ubuntu install (the one on your harddisk, not the one from the live CD) here in the forum. |
Can you run ubuntu from the live disc?
If you can then start a console ( a command prompt ) and type the following : mount then post what it says to this forum . |
