latest release install problem

[John Davies]

Hi
Have followed the online upgrade from Feisty after making sure all updates
were in place - everything seemed to run ok but upon reboot machine stops
and will not go any further. Machine goes through the normal boot routine
and displays the Ubuntu splash screen showing load progress, then after it
has finished all we are left with is a flashing cursor. Have tried going
into the boot menus and tried Ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.12.14 - generic
(recovery mode) this went thru the booting progress and stops at a line -

' setting up console font + keymap
root at jdlinux:~#
'

Can anything be done to get the system to boot without a fresh install - I
am not that good with linux at present as I am a Newbie.
