    Kubuntu stopped booting...

    hi, i've suddenly ran into a problem with Kubuntu, i run a dual boot between Kubuntu and Win XP and i hadn't used Kubuntu for a week or so (was downloading F.E.A.R. Combat on 256k, it's a 1.7GB FILE!) and i wanted to get into Kubuntu so i turn the PC on and select Kubuntu from the GRUB loader, and it loads everything normally (with all the OK's on the Right side) and the bar under the word Kubuntu in the middle of the screen fills, but then the screen goes blank, returns back with the work Kubuntu in the middle, and sits there. doing nothing. until i press CTRL-ALT-DELETE and it starts unloading everything on the same screen, in preparation for reboot.
    my specs are:

    AMD Athlon64 3500+ Venice 939
    Inno3D GeForce 6800GS 256MB
    1GB DDR400 RAM
    DFI NForce 4 Ultra Infinity MOBO

    before anyone asks, it HAS worked before, i have even played planet penguin racer on it :P

    also, if it isn't already obvious, i'm fairly new to Linux, and this was only installed 2 weeks ago, and it took ages to fully patch up which is why i'm not so eager to simply reinstall it as all those patches hurt lots when your stuck on 256K and i simply don't know what to do, i cannot access any of the Linux Partitions from windows as they are EXT3(is that right?) so i cannot transfer anything off it (nothing REALLY important there anyway, besides the updates.)

    please help.

    This might be related to the previous upgrade problem a few days ago. This page might help you:

    Just press Alt+F1 when it comes to the part where you see the Kubuntu banner on a black background with no text (where it sits there doing nothing).
