Comment 13 for bug 253076

I have 2.6.27 - problem is still here

I do an upgrade from Hardy to Ibex 2 days ago
everything goes fine ...but after the splash for boot loader was gone the black screen step up and won't die.

Please see my last comment on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/258381 -> xserver errors attached.

So I do a lot of 'tricks' to get back my Gnome but no any chance ( recovery mode, xfix ..etc ).

Yesterday I do an upgrade from CLI, (some 38 packages was on the upgrade list) and today I observed I can't use Ctrl + Alt + F2 to get my CLI interface. A blank screen with an clipping cursor is all I got.

The single place where I can give commands to Ubuntu now is the root console (recovery mode).

My machine : Intel CoreDuo 2 (6mb internal cache), Gygabyte Chipset, PCI Expres X16, ATI RADEON HD 2600 Pro 512Mb RAM, 2GB RAM memory.

the question is if I can recover my installation without reinstalling Ubuntu from CD ( I have a lot of usable things on /opt -> htdocs for example - but I don't have enough space to copy for save all my needed stuff - I can start apache and and I can dump out my databases but there are a lot of other things and too little space so save them all - I know it's a beta software but I can't imagine I can't start Ubuntu in a way or other... ).

Any help appreciated.
