Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook installs from USB DVD but won't boot

[Brad Stone]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

System: Dell Inspiron 910 previously running Netbook Remix 9.10 with no issues. Used USB DVD drive to install 10.10 from ISO.

Issue: Ran a clean install (told installer to erase drive) of 10.10. No issues noted during install, reached end of install process and received the "need to reboot" message. Upon restart, the Dell splash screen appeared but then the screen went blank with a blinking cursor. Removing / including the USB DVD did not resolve. Fix was to manually reinstall Grub from the live disc.
