Live CD hangs after boot
Dear Help,
I recently have tried to run the Live CD to evaluate some features in the newest Ubuntu release: 7.10, and have not been able to accomplish this.
1.I have the Boot options correct, and it loads to the correct menu.
2.The kernel loads 100% (as far as a know)
3. Ubuntu's load screen comes up and completes
4. The system hangs and the process end
-I tried the F6 option and deleted no splash, and all the system components checked out OK, but I believe there were some errors in the CD-Rom drive tests but the screen moved on too quick
-I tried it on a laptop, and it worked fine
-My system specs are as follows:
AMD 3800+ X2
2 GB RAM
512 MB video
XP
2 CD/DVD burners
also, the same problem happened for both the 64 bit and x86 editions of 7.10. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
