Same here. Booted off cd (knot 3), used gparted to shrink windows XP part., created 2 new parts. for ubuntu & swap. Installed, updated and rebooted.
Now boot hangs at or just after fsck. This is on a Compaq nx7010 (which isn't the most reliable peice of kit anyway). Doesn't seem to make any difference whether power is applied or not. -- [Edgy BETA] Boot procedure hangs https://launchpad.net/bugs/66067 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
