Re: Upgrade from ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 problem

This is what came to me in the middle of the night.
I wil be going to use a friends computer to make a disc. I ordered a
free one as a back up too.

I think i like this OS. I kinda inherited this laptop.
My aunt didnt know what she was buying...
Thanks!

Hello, i just upgraded from ubuntu 7.10 to
8.04.
Ok, tried to. :-S
I have an Everex gbook 1500 that came with 7.10. After installing all
necessary updates, i clicked to upgrade. After upgraded,
I rebooted. It went into the memory scan. Thats all it will do. I
tried to hit esc to continue and boot the system. Nothing happens.
Only way out is to shut down by pressing the button. On reboot, i've
gone into where the menu list and see only one option-
Ubunto 7.10 memtest86+

Thats it. I am very new to ubuntu but have been reading ALOT and have
at least figured out how to get to grub and type commands.
I read that i could maybe go to terminal and see whats available and
maybe remove a # so i can have diff menu options.
But i havent figured out how to get there.

Thanks tons from the new member!

This may not be the answer you are looking for, but it might be the
right moment to do a full, clean, re-install of 8.10 now... :)

Get the 8.10 ISO from a friend (download and burn at their place)...
then boot from it. Mount the hard disk. Backup your home directory
somewhere if it's not on a separate filesystem (unless you don't mind
losing all your files). Then go ahead with the full re-install... and
enjoy 8.10 which is really nice.

You might, in a first step, try to UPGRADE from the 8.10 CD...

Gilles.
