Hi Joseph,
I followed the instructions as you suggested and installed the 3.8-rc5
kernel. I did not see improvement, thus I added the kernel-bug-exists-
upstream tag (I may needed to have added the kernel-unable-to-test-
upstream.)
Here's what happened:
- nomodeset was not a guaranteed a boot like usual on a kernel boot with
no compiled nvidia drivers
- I saw similar situations as before: blank purple screen, getting stuck
at the same status message ( something about loading swap )
- I did manage to boot once (no nvidia drivers) but I was unable to use my
mouse or keyboard... I assume this is because there were no drivers installed
with the kernel ... was I supposed to do that?
I finally managed to boot back into my newest installed
"3.2.0-36-generic #57-Ubuntu" but I had to do it through the recovery
menu. The previous kernel (35) didn't have this problem quite so
badly... Perhaps it's the 310.19 Nvidia drivers?
