[Bug 601661] Re: Kubuntu installs & reboots, but after system upgrade, boot fails.

[Aere Greenway]

I spent a lot of time on this (trying to upgrade my daughter's machine
to a newer level of Kubuntu Linux).

I had the same problem on 9.10.  When I tried 9.04, I encountered other
problems.  But 8.04 would install and run without any problems.

I have come to the conclusion that although Kubuntu Linux 9.x or 10.x
will install and appear to run on a machine with 384 meg of memory, it
will not run reliably.  The problems can be catastrophic (like the one
reported), or less disastrous like the case of 9.04 not being able to
configure the wireless.

I have years of experience using Kubuntu Linux 8.04 successfully on 384
meg of memory, and that is probably the last level of Kubuntu Linux that
will run reliably on that amount of memory.

I gave my daughter back her machine with two redundant Kubuntu Linux
8.04 partitions on it, and no longer have the machine to try something
further.
