For those still suffering black screen on boot with 2.6.32-21, I've found that adding "nomodeset single" to the grub loader (hold shift on boot these days to access grub) gives access to a prompt to start in a safe graphics mode. Also remove "quite splash" from the boot options to see more diagnostics on progress.
The same prompt also provides an option to reconfigure X, but it appears to not work. For anybody having black screen trouble with the installer who may happen to read this, "nomodeset single" seems to work there too. -- Blank screen when booting Lucid 10.04 alpha 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511130 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
