Status today: I was also able to get through booting the 11.04.3 64-bit version. So I tried to install it.
The problem with the boot sector mentioned in the original description surfaced again. After getting the 11.04.3 64-bit live cd to run, I tried installing the system. The install finished correctly, apparently, but the system would not boot. Note that I had been running the 32-bit version of 11.04 previously. I then tried installing a spin of 10.04.2 which has the Boot-Repair program in it. Running that program did not help the booting problem. I then re-partitioned the disk slightly differently with gparted, and re- installed. That didn't help. I tried booting a couple of versions of Knoppix, looked at the partition table with gparted, and it looked fine. But the system still wouldn't boot from the hard disk. Note that this is a new hard disk, installed since the original report, and 11.04 has been running on it. I also tried running grub-install (according to ubuntu instructions for repairing Grub2); that didn't help either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/707755 Title: Xorg usually won't start on Compaq system with nVidia Corporation C51 [GeForce 6150 LE] and nVidia chipset To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/707755/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
