ubuntu 10.10 alpha 3 will not boot

What happens when you boot?

after selecting 10.10 it goes to the ubuntu emblem with the dots under it ,the dots go from white to red and stay red . i let set this way for 10 mim. but does nothing .

Ok then remove the boot options to show the splash so you can watch the boot.

Did you upgrade from 9.10 to 10.10 directly??

no i have dual boot . how do remove the boot options

so you upraded from 9.10 to 10.04, then 10.04 to 10.10. The fact you have a dual boot is of no interest to the situation.

first i had 9.10 installed . i got to looking at 10.10 found it`s at alpha 3 so i downloaded it then installed in a dual boot .

Ok so its a clean install. You can remove boot options so you can watch the boot rather than the dumb splash screen hiding the useful information.
