here is some more info that may help: installed 9.04and it worked fine
with kernel 2.6.28-11 generic; then I updated which gave me kernel
2.6.28-17 and it still works in gnome; then I tried kernel 2.6.31-15
generic and it froze like before as did 2.6.31-14 (I think). How do I
get rid of the other choices so it will just boot without stopping at
that menu? Is there some way to let me know if this bug gets fixed so I
can upgrade and so I can move up to Lucid in April? Dave
