Ubuntu

Can't start ubuntu After installation

Asked by bg

Today I installed ubuntu on my computer using the text mode. After the installation when I choose to boot into Ubuntu I get a black and white splash screen and the system crashes. I am using grub boot loader. All version of 6.10 has not worked on my computer. I have tried all version of unbuntu 6.10 and also tried the 64 bit amd version that also crashes. I am not able to run the recovery mode. When I run the recovery mode the system hangs up at
199.782490 agpgart:Detected 7932K stolen Memory some times it restarts at "starting kernal event"

I have also tried the live cd version that also have crashed. This is my first install of Ubuntu and I am a newbie.
Please help.

System info
Intel Core 2 Duo with / Pentium D 2.66
PNY GeForce FX 5200 PCI
1 Gig of ram (DDR2)
80GB Serial ATA HD

The 64 bit AMD version is the right version for your system. Have you tried booting without the splash and quiet options? Using grub, you can stop usplash by pressing "ESC" at the beginning of the grub process, then:

1. highlight the kernel you want to boot
2. hit the 'e' key (without quotes); this will edit the boot line
3. look for a line that has the keyword 'splash' on it
4. position yourself on this line, and hit the 'e' key again, to edit the line
5. remove the 'splash' keyword and the 'quiet' from the line
6. hit ENTER
7. hit the 'b' key to boot

This should allow you to look at the boot messages and provide more information about your problem.

The system restarts if self after a very long scroll.
some times I get a error message and the system hangs up displaying
this error.

I have also tried the ESC at the beginning of the grub process but that also didn't work.
