7.07 Boot Failure (GRUB?)

[meldav]

Screen Messages:

GRUB 1.5
GRUB LOADING
Starting Up

Never progresses past this point.

I am new to Ubuntu and clueless as to how to address this problem.  The
OS is on a new drive that has shown no flaws.

Please don't post several times about the same issue, it confuses and
annoys people and you are less likely to get good answers. Just be a bit
patient, mailing lists need some time to propagate. I can already see an
answer to the first email you sent.

Hello

I would install GRUB anew:

1. Start your computer with the ubuntu live-cd.

2. sudo mount /dev/hdax /mnt (x is the number of your / partiton).
    if you have a separate /boot partition: sudo mount /dev/hday /mnt/boot (y is the number of your /boot partiton).

3. sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/hda

Hi Melissa,

To get more information, please
* turn on the pc,
* press 'ESC' to get into the grub menu,
* then press 'e' on the default boot profile.
* Scroll down through the list of instructions 'root', 'kernel', etc and
* for all lines, press 'e',
* remove all occurences of 'quiet'
* and change 'splash' to 'nosplash'
* press 'enter' to go back to the listing of options.
* When you're done editing all lines, press 'b' to boot.

You should now see a verbose list of things happening while your pc is
booting and  see which item stops the boot process, and then post the
results to the list.
