Need some help guys. I am trying to play with some Linux software so I fugured I would throw in my Ubuntu LiveCD and test it before converting the computer to Linux. (this machine's sole purpose is to run CFD so if I find better software in Linux then I'll change OS's)
It goes through to the selection page of whether to start Ubuntu, Start with safe graphics, etc, etc. and when I select "start Ubuntu" it tries to load and goes back to the black screen showing "booting kernel" or something to that effect and just stalls.
Any ideas?
BTW- this is a Core2Duo e6600 on an ASUS mobo, 74g Raptor with 6g RAM (3 x 2g sticks). Should I try taking some RAM out?? The drive already has Vista installed on it but should that make any difference since I am trying to boot from a CD and not trying to install Ubuntu?
Thanks
