Does the alternate installation work on a Dell Latitude D510 with no OS installed? I want to use Ubuntu on it. The live CD does not install, but gives a black screen with a bunch of text.
This is really starting to p*** me off. What the hell is the difference between the 3.0 and 3.2 kernel? It's obviously something quite important. I can not get Ubuntu 12.04 or Fedora 16 to boot. And I can only put it down to being something to do with the kernel used in 12.04.
In both Ubuntu and Fedora, I get the boot menu.
Recently had a system crash giving me ubuntu kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block
Tried to boot onto USB live Ubuntu, but I still end up with a frozen screen, black screen, frozen splash screen, or scrambled text and random flashing colors...
I can boot into the ubuntu recovery console and have tried to upgrade the kernel with
apt-get dist-upgrade, but it fails
About 3 months ago I put Ubuntu 9.10 on my old Dell Latitude D510 laptop, in the last couple of days got a weird problem.
My computer starts and loads but when the Ubuntu screen appears just before the login screen, the one where the bar moves across, my computer sometimes freezes.
I had no other problems and it happens maybe twice in every 9 boots.
After install of F16 all was well but ran a yum update and rebooted to the newer (3.4.xxx x86_64) kernel and screen goes blank after grub menu. Could choose the original F16 (3.1.xxx_x86_64) kernel at grub and it would boot fine.
I decided to give F17 a try...
After a clean F17 installation all is working fine... Then run yum update and reboot into latest kernel...
recently I have downloaded updates for my fedora 18 x86_64 installation and one of them was a kernel update. if I try to boot new kernel from grub menu it stalls at a black screen and I have to hard reset. If I choose the older kernel boots fine. I think it is issue with proprietary drivers for nvidia but thats just speculation.
Hi,
I upgraded the kernel-* packages from my Slackware64 14.0 system to version 3.2.45 and tried to boot it, but the system freezes into a black screen after loading the kernel.
Fedora 17 KDE
Dell Latitude E6510
I have a Dell Latitude E6510, which I'm trying to use like a desktop with an external monitor plugged in and the lid closed down.
When I boot Fedora 17 with kernel 3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64, the system boots fine and eventually I get a login prompt on the laptop screen and the reset of the art work shows on up the external monitor.
After months writing code and seeing multiple failures I have given up writing a kernel and decided to use the linux kernel. My only problem is that I'm not sure how.
I have looked up how to compile the kernel but it just isnt working. I downloaded 3.2.7 from kernel.org and I have an Ubuntu computer. What am I supposed to do to get the kernel from files to a bootable ISO image?
