i recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 onto my work laptop, dual-booting with XP. I'm having an irritating problem in that the Ubuntu splash screen seems to cause the system to crash. If i boot the system normally, when it *should* be displaying the spash screen, the screen blanks and hangs indefinately. If i alter the boot command to -nospash, it boots fine.
First of all, anyone heard of this error before?
Secondly, i'm a linux noob and have no idea how to make GRUB save the -'nospash' change. i have to go in and change it every time i boot at the moment... which is a bit annoying!
