Public bug reported:
On May 9th, 2008 I upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10 running on Dell Inspiron to Ubuntu
8.0.4
which was distributed to me via Internet the same day. I accepted all of the
distribution
files as is. The installation reached the "Restart" step without apparent
incident. When
I clicked 'Restart' the machine would not boot. It went to a debug screen with
lots of
messages of exception codes and addresses. I tried again to boot by powering
off/on
and got the same result.
I wanted to learn more so I tried once again to power off/on but this time I
used F12 and
Esc to get to menus. What I discovered from a menu of boot options was that
none of
them were set. I manually set the boot option to the hard disk and set it in
motion. The
machine booted. I was able to log in.
My complaint is that the upgrade program does not set the boot option.
