Dapper LTS boot failure

[Maynard Wright]

Hi, MKR,

No, I shut the computer down last night and it seemed to shut off 
normally.  When I turned it on this morning, the trouble occurred and 
rebooting doesn't help.  I switched back to an older laptop with RedHat 
8 until I can fix Kubuntu.

Thanks,

Maynard
