Fwd: Re Cannot boot latest Ubuntu Edgy

[Cheryl Homiak <chomiak charter net>]

Am sending christian's post to the list; it's good to know I'm not  
the only one with this problem. btw apparently this list is set so  
that replies go to individuals rather than the list so you have to  
consciously check the address if you want to make sure it goes to the  
list.

Hi Cheryl,
Oh, you just saved me another CD!
I just had a sighted friend here who is not very used to computers,  
but he told me that the Linux kernel was loading but after a minute  
or so the screen became blank. We waited about four minutes after I  
just for fun pressed any key but nothing happened!
I really hope that they get this resolved soon since I want to try  
out Orca!
All the best,
Christian
