    Unable to boot using past Grub Linux Mint 10

    I have lately installed Linux Mint 10 into my computer. It was working fine till today morning when it was having only blank screen remaining on the monitor. I have tried to boot the computer through recover console but still I am getting the blank screen after booting. I am not getting where is the problem? If it has an issue with graphic card then I don’t know how to trouble shoot it? I have also tried to play with BIOS settings but still the problem persists. Can anyone having the same problem please reply? Is there any solution for the problem please reply on the same as soon as possible.

    I want to know that have you ever tried to modify boot option in to your Linux Mint. You can add pci=noacpi. You have to do this entry into normal mode not into recovery mode. You have to enter ‘e’ to modify your boot parameters. Now you have to append ‘pci=noacpi’ at the ending of ‘kernel’. To boot your pc press ‘b’. Just try it and give feedback whether it is working or not? Wish you best of luck.

    I was also having the same problem with my Linux Mint. While searching on lots of forums I came know that it was happening due to Graphic card driver settings and power management software. In most of cases Graphic card driver settings and power management software are the main cause of problem that you have mentioned above in your questions. You have to do lots of trial and error to fix your problem.

    You can use following code if you are having the Ethernet connection with your computer. Press Ctrl-alt-f1 when you get the blank screen. Now enter following piece of code
    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove --purge gdm3
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install gdm3
    If it does not work you enter this code after pressing Ctrl-alt-f1
    Code:
    sudo su
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    Just try it. If it helps you please share your experience so other can learn from it.
