Bug Description

I wanted to test ubuntu herd 3 on my thunderbird 900 machine, 3.2Gb /, 8.4 Gb /home, 1.2Gb /swap, 512Mb Ram, nvidia tnt2 32Mb.
But i can't get it starts in normal mode nor in safe mode.
That machine had edgy installed, i tried also to update to feisty but that broke the system.

i just get to the notice saying that it was unable to start X.
however after formatting my home and root i was able to test herd 3 with the X starting properly.
its a pity, moreover that i found some annoying bugs, i will try again once it reaches beta.
Actually what scares me the most is that soon or later i will have to upgrade, and then what if it crashes?

I am under the impression that you have successfully installed Herd 3 now and that X is working properly for you. Is that correct?
