ubuntu 9.04 installation problems on travelmate 2423

Asked by xufrank88

Recently I have tried to install Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop travelmate 2423. However this installation procedure does not work fine.

At the beginning, I want to install it directly from the CD. This does not work. After selecting the item " installation", the computer is frozen and showed " Loading please waiting". I have waited one day for this. But it did not start the installation.

So I decided to install Ubuntu 8.10 on my computer first. There is no problem to install ubuntu 8.10. After that I made an update from Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu 9.04. However, this update made the computer to start abnormally. It is frozen and showed " Loading please waiting".

To address this problem, I druck "Esc" after start, choosing "kernel 2.6.27-15" rather than "Kernel 2.6.28-16" .Then the computer works fine.

My questions:
1. Why I can not install Ubuntu 9.04 directly?
2. Why Kernel 2.6.28-16 blocks the start of the computer?

Thanks

Hi,

have you tried burning out a new cd? Probably, it's all because of a badly-burnt cd...

Did you MD5 test the 9.04 ISO you downloaded?
Did you verify the 9.04 CD once initially booted to?

Dear Mr. Ogasawara,

I'm sorry for my late response because I was in holiday in the last month.

Now I want to allow "apport-collect" to gather bug information. Unfortunately I do not give a sufficient right to this command. I do not it needs the right "change everything".  So please assign a new bug number, in order to let me report the bug information as soon as possible.

Thanks
