I bought a new pc with config as shown in my sig.
I am unable to boot ANY linux distro cd or dvd...no progress is made after the progress bar of loading kernel is completed.A screen becomes black and stays like that.
I think the h/w is faulty,but then I am able to boot from and install Windows XP with ease.What could be the issue with linux....help becos i cant live without linux....i miss the terminal,the programs,scripts...help...
May be a motherboard problem which was the case for me and I was unable to go beyond kernel selection screen(ubuntu,gentoo,edubuntu) using my earlier motherboard
thanks...i wanted to know that...i am really gonna fix those service personnel of the shop...grr...so much time had i lost trying to fix up things.....
do try some latest kernel bundled distros like ubuntu gutsy(oct10) or sabyon.
oh i have downloaded gutsy beta..so shud i burn it and give it a try?
sure.btw,check ur bios for some clues.also are u able to complete the installation.blank screen may be becoz of X failing to start too.
i had a problem with ubuntu 5 or something once. Try disabling the onboard audio and lan and then booting. There is also an boot switch to disable hotplug, try disabling that. Just my two cents.
well...i installed gutsy gibbon with noapic option and it worked.But got stuck at software selection a 80%.So tried feisty with noapic.Worked fine.But now windows gone....when booting into it...a blue screen flashes and system restarts...help...I have done Memory Check(not full...but for >1.30 hrs)...o prbs found...
80%-u shud have waited for sometime more.many reported this stuck @ 80% and after sometime the install finishes.
oh great....anyway i wud like to know wat i must do to get windows back?
