My clean install of ubuntu 10.04 on AMD 64 bit didn't go well on a different partition. This machine
My clean install of ubuntu 10.04 on AMD 64 bit didn't go well on a different partition. This machine already had ubuntu 9.10. I used the CD and installation was completed smoothly. But after the reboot all i see was grub rescue> prompt.
Left without clue, i have to fix the corrupted boot loader in ubuntu and got rid of the 10.04 installed partition for now. Sure will try this later. I think the wise idea would be to upgrade my desktop instead of a clean install for now.

Clean install of 64bit version of 10.04 on dell inspiron 6400 didn't go well. After install the system would randomly hang on startup with the top of the screen garbled. Also once booted, the system would fail to restore from a hibernate - i.e. hang. Tried re-installing a couple of times, tested the download image with MD5 for possible corruption ...but ended up with the same random hang on startup. I've now reloaded 64bit 9.10 and all is well. I'll be waiting for 10.10 before attempting another upgrade.

This is much easier to rectify as simple "kill -9 " of the gnome-panel from a terminal session sorts it out.
