I upgraded to the latest kernel (on Ubuntu, 3.0.0.17), and ran into problems. The computer never got into graphic mode, and the screen got stuck on part of the initialization process.
<div><br></div><div>The computer was running, and was reachable from another machine by ssh, but I could not run it from the keyboard and screen attached to it.</div><div><br></div><div>To resolve it, I edited /etc/default/grub and changed #GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 to GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1, which allows me to select an older kernel. I suspect the problem is with the Nvidia driver for my graphic card, but I am not sure.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Questions: </div><div><br></div><div>1. How do I isolate the problem?</div><div><br></div><div>2. How do I repair it once I do (I know it depends on the problem, so there may not be an answer yet, but then again, maybe there is a mechanism to edit the boot process as a way to troubleshoot).</div>
<div><br></div><div>3. Why does my computer works fine with 3.0.0.16, but not 3.0.0.17?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Z.</div>
