So this is a problem I am having for a while now. When I try to install Ubuntu via the mini.iso the whole installation goes right except that it wont boot (start the command line) after...I just get a black screen with a white blinking _ in the left corner. Sometimes it shows the purple ubuntu bootloader screen before going black again but thats it. It happens with 3D enabled and with 3D disabled. I know my installation is ok because I have a WinXP guest system where 3D and everything is working fine. Any ideas?
