I've asked for help in a few Kubuntu forums but got absolutely nothing back, not even hints or links to somewhere. I was hoping I would get a little more help in here.
I have a desktop PC with two NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX's in SLi, 2x250GB drives in RAID 0 with Windows Vista on it and 1x500GB drive with Kubuntu 7.10.
The current problem is simply that I can't boot normally into Kubuntu. I select the latest kernel from GRUB, and then when I'm supposed to get the screen with Kubuntu and a loading bar, I get absolutely nothing. I've tried Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to the command line but nothing. It just seems to freeze.
However, if I boot in using the safe mode, I end up at a command line prompt as root after several lines of things which go by too fast for me to read. If I then type in "telinit 3" I get to a login screen and I can then using Kubuntu normally.
So I can use Linux, but instead of booting straight away, I have to use the safe mode. It's just a frustrating niggle and I was hoping to get some help in tracking down the problem.
I must be one of the few people to have more trouble with NVIDIA cards compared to ATI.
