Ok, today I successfully installed Lucid Daily 2010-02-10 from the
alternate image. After installation, the system rebooted,
successfully.

NEW PROBLEM - Then, it automatically found and installed the current
nVidia driver. Upon completion of the driver installation, it
instructed me to reboot, again. This time, the system would not reboot
to Lucid. I tried rebooting,. twice. Then, I was able to successfully
reboot back to my Karmic kernel.

What to do?
