Bug Description
This is for Lucid beta1 and 3/22/10 nightly.
Existing x86_64 system with a dual GeForce GTX 295 graphics driver.
Two monitor's on the driver:
- ViewSonic VX2000 @1600x1200 60Hz, and
- Dell 3007WFP.@2560x1600 59.86 Hz
System installs and works find under Karmic. After I install Lucid beta1 (or
the nightly) I try to bring up the system and it hangs either in upstart or
the graphics driver.
I tried using chroot to 'apt-get dist-upgrade' and also install a few
additional packages with no luck.
I did not try to install the nvidia driver during installation---the only thing
special was tri-boot with a shared /boot and multiple / partitions for
different ubuntu versions. The last install I attempted I used a partition for /
and the existing 2G /boot partition and left the major XFS filesystems
Further investigation,
1st I removed the second (older) Nvidia card on the grounds to
eliminate that as a possible issue--but this did not directly solve
the problem.
I then upgraded the BIOS on my P6TD MB from what came w/
the MB to the most recent one from ASUS (501) and that has
solved the problem.
I have not tried re-installing the second graphics card to verify
that piece of the puzzle.
