Bug Description
Over the last few days I have done a few things on my PC (IBM Thinkpad R40), the first was a reinstall of Feisty from DVD to eliminate a dual boot. From there, I upgraded my PC to 7.10 using the alternate installer. When I did this, I had no issues with the login. But I decided to do a fresh install of 7.10, and did so from a Live CD. The installation was successful but now I no longer see anything but a blank screen after the initial Grub text until I get to the login screen. I would have been worried, but there was hard drive activity on my indicator so I decided to wait it out to see if it would go to the login screen. I wanted to inform you of this in case it is happening to anyone else. This is probably similar to bug #153390, but this is an i386-based system and an ATI chipset so I felt it warranted its own bug report. When I loaded from the live CD, I saw the Ubuntu logo and the loading indicator, so it happened sometime after the install. A reboot did not repair anything either.
Thanks for your time.
