Ubuntu/Kubuntu 8.10 booting issue

Booting issue on Kubuntu 8.10, the same goes for ubuntu, and any other 8.10 version.

How did i solve the problem:
edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file
when you find this

title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=xxxx ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic

remove the "quiet splash" sentence and voilá

@bytebender

Yea it does, but it didnt on 8.10

it's flatlining!!! LMAFO!!! but seriously, try going into what appears to be vista in your boot list, and type in "chkdsk /r" without quotes (but it depends how you installed your unix distro, by Wubi or manual. I installed mine with wubi), but try that & let me know

[WakkaOwnages]

i did both ways ..atm i'm with wubi but manually it's the same.

Actually with LiveCd (The final version) it still happens, i cant boot the livecd because it beeps all the time.

I forgot to say, there's also lots of people with same problem as me, check it out on launchpad

tried all that, the problem exists on the livecd aswell. I Solved the problem by disabling the splash screen

[VeganCannibal]

to me it looks like a problem with the USB - I'd check the bios settings, attempt starting up with no usb devices connected - I'd use my serial mouse/keyboard - if that all still failed I would just unistall/reinstall

That happens whenever I try to run PC-BSD 7 :O
