Did you choose to verify the installation media when you installed it? To me, it appears that some driver was corrupted on installation.

hi.... i had checked the installation media and its fine

Don't know how to resolve this other linux are running fine on my system... may issue is with OS

Thanks guys

after googling since afternoon i managed to boot and login to the system. The solution
was to use a switch "acpi=off"(don't know exactly what it does).

Now struggling with my touchpad.

Thanks for your support
