I took a chance and used the ADD/Remove feature in Ubuntu to upgrade to
Feisty Fawn. I wish that I would not have done this as I don't time to
spare and have run into problems. My system hangs on boot. If I do a
ctrl-alt delete it will boot into the new system however I can not access
the extra partitions on the hard drives. I normally accessed my data drive
on /dev/hdc. This is the set up in fstab. However it now accesses a blank
drive. When I do
sudo fdisk -l
I receive the following:
Disk /dev/sda: 60.0 GB, 60022480896 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7297 cylinders

Question: Ubuntu boots the system without reporting all the booting
behavior. How do I go about enabling this. If i look at the /var/log it
seems the system is hangin on NVidia but when I do the CTRL_ALT_DELETE the
sytem boots Nvidia and I can run tux penguin. Sorry for the brief and badly
posted message
