Hello and Help!
I am incredibly uninformed and new to Linux. I recently tried to upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10. Now when I attempt to boot the process hangs at abaout 40% then finishes and presents a black screen with white letters showing the following message:
Start Up
Loading, please wait.....
Kinit: name to-dev-t(/ev/disk/by-uuid? 2d32708a-4doc-4e55-bb69-e01e665d8242)=hda5(3,5)
Kinit: trying to resume from /dev/disk/vy uuid/2832708a-4d0c-4e55-bb69-e01e665d8242
Kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot
Ubuntu 8.10 bill-desktop tty1
bill-desktop login:
Anyone have any idea what I need to do to get the update to work and the system to boot normally?

Do you get anything after usingIf you can't get access, I would suggest starting a thread in the Ubuntu portion of the Forum as you will get more viewings.Code:startx
