Thanks for the tip. I found out how to add this parameter, and now it does indeed boot!
Now that I can boot the system, how can I find out what's going wrong when the nomodeset parameter is not set? By the way, I don't know if this is related, but now that I can boot I can't start X. I installed xfce4 and its dependencies and tried startx but when I do the system hangs with a flashing caps lock and scroll lock light on the keyboard. What does that mean? -- Monitor turned off on boot - never turns back on - (also in recovery mode) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/593002 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
