Bug Description

This is not the first time im installed dapper. I've treid almost 20 times installing various versions, various builds of dapper drake. but none was able to boot on my pc. When ever we enter into dapper drake from grub the message freezes at "boot" thats it. It wont go ahead of that. The kernel decompressing wont take place. I generally dual boot with windows. And this kind of problem is only with dapper. I could sucessfully run breezy, fedora and every other operationg system on the same partition. please help me out. I couldn't resist to try dapper. Hope you ppl find the solution for the bug.

Vijay,

Please provide more infomrmation about your problem. What type of
computer do you have?

If you could attach the information returned by the `lshw` command,
that would help a lot.

Thanks.

I dont know how but the problem is rectified in Ubuntu Dapper Beta. I guess that might be some kind of problem with the kernel. Finally its solved.
