Public bug reported:
Yesterday, 9/1/2010, I received a bunch of patch updates for 10.04
(64-bit) and applied them to my laptop (Dell Latitude E6510, Intel Core
i5). After they applied, it asked me if I wanted to reboot now or later.
I chose later to finish my work and then shut my laptop off. This
morning, I turned it on, only to get a black screen during bootup and
also during login. I know it's working behind the scenes because I can
hear the drum sound when it's ready to login and I can still press the
power button and hit enter to shut it down (even though I can't see
anything). I tried using Alt+F2->F12 but it would only show a black
screen as well.
My temporary workaround was to hold the shift button during startup to
get the grub menu and then select the older 2.6.32-23 kernel to bootup
instead of the newer 2.6.32-24. I am able to boot ok in the older kernel
and it's working fine, but I don't know what is causing the problem for
the newer one and cannot boot into that one.
I believe I was running 2.6.32-24 fine up until I received that bundle
of patches from yesterday and applied them to my system. So the question
is, is there a way to figure out what patches were applied in
yesterday's bundle so I can back them out? If not, how can I fix this so
I can run the newer updated kernel?
