7.04 liveCD install hangs using K8M800 chipset for S3 Unichrome video
I'm new at using Linux and Ubuntu but wanted to load my new pc with 7.04 liveCD to try it out, however after it starts loading the monitor blanks and it locks up requiring POR to get it going again. My MB is ECS K8M800-M2 (2.0) using S3/Unichrome Pro graphics chipset. I'm assuming this is causing the hang so was trying to figure out:
1) how to find an appropriate driver and
2) how to install the driver using the liveCD.
If somehow installing an S3 driver using liveCD is not possible then how would I go about installing 7.04 to the HD and then installing the supporting driver. Guess I'm a bit confused about how to do anything if the video is blank.
Hoping someone can help me get started or explain what's going on at this point in the install cycle.
Thanks.
