Comment 3 for bug 442364

Shang,

1. I did the apport-collect command. That should be attached to the bug
report.
2. There are other kernels I d-loaded them to no avail.
3. alt-ctrl-F1 showed the following:
Boot from (hdo,o) ext 3 62ba81c0-ef18-4185-9f7c-bae8d1b2eba5

4.I'll have to dload the 9.10 and try to install it.

Thanks,
