I’m trying to get Linux Ubuntu 6.10 “Edgy Eft” running, but the live CD won’t even work. Ive tried trouble shooting like downloading a new ISO, making a new copy, using a one hundred percent workable ISO recorder, and changing the BIOS.
The first issue was it didn’t even attempt to start. I fixed it by changing the bios to boot up from a disk drive first. That worked, and I was able to get to the “root boot-up” screen.
The ther was a second issue. The disk defect thing worked perfect, detected no errors. However, even in safe graphics mode, something caused it to go massively wrong. I thought my laptop turned into an expensive paperweight! Turns out that it wasn’t a linux or LCD screen problem, or linux, but rather the laptop itself. The CD works on all computers ‘cept for mine.
Heres a link (WARNING: Takes a while at 3:14 mins [hey, thats pi!] and the good part is the last few seconds) http://youtube.com/watch?v=ADhc4VWkGFE
I haven’t ran the memory check yet, but im sure thats not the problem.
