I have an old Compage Presario M2000 laptop that I have tried to load Lucid on.
The very first time I did it it installed and worked, except for the inbuilt wireless card which is a Broadcom that required the BC43 xx driver
Initially I got it to work and managed to get the wireless to work, then I did a package update and since then it refuses to boot. It gets to the first Ubuntu splash screen then hangs
So, I re-installed lucid from scratch...no luck
I installed Karmic...no luck..
I installed Lucid again...with a network connection....still no luck..
I am familiar with installing Ubuntu...have done it a few times on various machines, but this one wont seem to behave
I managed to get photo of the screen to see if anyone can help, it no the best pic, but gives some clue
