Karmic Koala 64-Bit: Black screen on re-boot after install

[Dale]

2009/11/1 Trevor Cowan <quarterstaff at y7mail.com>:
> Well! I made the hard decision for a clean install of Karmic Koala alongside of Windows XP instead of a Wubi install as a program in Windows XP after first un-installing the previous Jaunty Jackalope Wubi.
>
> I decide to do this with a view to removing Windows XP completely at some future date. But imagine my disappointment when I got a black screen on re-boot of Karmic Koala. My system has an Asus P5QC mainboard with an Intel E7500 Core2 Duo processor. I have read that some Intel processors can cause this problem.
>
> Fortunately I was able to install Karmic Koala in Windows XP by using the alternative Wubi option. So I have Karmic Koala 64-Bit after all.
>
> I will now wait until a solution for the 'Black Screen' problem is found and do a full install, or wait for Lucid Lynx to be released to see if it is overcome by then.
>
> Meantine I would just like to say. Thank you for your help guys and gals.
