<body>RE: Screen going white after selecting boot option<BR>
<BR>
I had a problem identical to this on an old machine I had with Ubuntu Dapper.<BR>
After selecting an option from the menu the screen went blank. It turns out that the loading screen<BR>
was being displayed at a different refresh rate or something that my monitor did<BR>
not support so selecting safe made no difference as it still shows the same boot progress screen. <BR>
It was still loading and if I waited a couple of mins the login screen would appear.<BR>
Was never able to solve the problem so had to put up with it, I think there is a way you can<BR>
switch off the boot splash..<BR>
<BR>
Is there drive activity still when the screen goes white, if so wait a few mins and see if it still boots.<BR>
