[Bug 920412] Re: Install of 11.10 crashes - clean partition, old 11.04 removed

[Russell]

Brian - sorry, my misunderstanding about the status fields. I want to
change this to closed but I can't see that as an option. I wiped and
reset the partition and did a fresh install of 11.10 from a LiveCD.

Although 11.10 with 3.0.0.15-generic loads and works well, it does
usually crash on start up from Grub2. In fact, it locks the computer
completely. This problem seems to be fairly well recorded on the forum,
though I haven't seen a fix for it. It appears that the kernel doesn't
load and then Grub returns a bad partition error. After a reboot or two
11.10 loads and so far seems to work very well. I don't believe this is
a hardware issue as the system is fairly new and Windows 7 loads fine
each time.
