Comment 3 for bug 11980

I have the same(?) issue. Root (ext3) located on /dev/sda5, which is a non-raid
sata disk.
Problem first occurred in 2.6.10-1, still here on 2.6.10-2. I'm running the k7
flavour.
Nothing happens when selecting the 2.6.10 kernels from grub. The last thing that
draws
on my screen is "Starting Ubuntu" - after that nothing happens.

2.6.9-1-k7 runs fine, and here's relevant(?) output while running it:
