Binary package hint: packagekit
A couple of weeks ago I sintalled the new prerelease of lucid. The first installation went OK; but when I later upgraded the packages I could no longer boot this partition. I have a number of kernels installed (enclose menu.lst). Out of these kernels the only one that I can use to log onto the system are the recovery versions of 2.6.27-7 and 2.6.28-18; all the other freeze during the boot. If I start in recovery mode, and then start up X-windows, then I seem to loose the keyboard and the mouse, so I have to revert to the on/off button to close the system. By using one of these old kernels I was yesterday able to update the system so that it is now supposedly the current version of the LTS lucid, but I still have the same problem when booting.
I can get a non-graphic version up and running using the two oldest kernels, and I can also access the lucid partition graphically by starting up an older karmik kernel.
