Comment 14 for bug 295756

Well the BIOS was set to onboard video so I just switched it to AUTO. Then I did a clean reinstall with an alternate Ubuntu 8.10 cd(which installed perfectly by the way). Now I have an xp part and a ubuntu part. The XP part works fine, if not better than when i first got it. The Ubuntu though doesn't work, even when I change the BIOS to its originally settings. What happens is I boot ubuntu and the loader screen comes up. The little bar begins to fill up then stops when it fills 2 3/4 of the bar. (not the whole bar by the way. It's 2 sections and 3/4 of a section. Sections being the "mini-bars" that divide the whole bar.) There are no beeps, it justs freezes there. Not moving at all. The hardware seems to be fine but it seems the GRUB is messing up (or thats what I think). Thanks for all your help so far, I know it's tough for you guys. You got probably 50 problems and I may just have something as simple as a digit off. Thanks for everything so far. :)
