After several weeks of being able to install and boot the Lucid alpha,
I am back to an inability to boot my machine after installing the Mar
15 image.

If I try the normal boot method, it completes the fsck in text mode,
then it gives me a nice purple Plymouth screen and my disk starts the
repeated clicking.

If I try a recovery mode boot, a bunch of text comes onto the screen,
then the screen goes black. If I wait, nothing happens. If I press
Enter, I get a black screen with an underline cursor at the top of the
screen, about 3 inches from the left corner. Then, there are a few of
the disk clicks, intermittently. Then, all activity stops. Pressing
Enter again has no effect. Nothing can be typed at the underline
cursor.

Man, what a pain! If no one has any ideas, I suppose I will wait until
tomorrow and see if it is any better.
