[ubuntu] [SOLVED] abit i-45cv

[michelepolo]

hello, i own a motherboard abit i-45cv and cannot install any linux at all! i am a pretty experienced one, started from red hat 6.0.
i tried with ubuntu 8.04, knoppix 5.1, opensuse 11 either live or alternate installation and they all hang at the very beginning of installation: udev probing for knoppix, more or less same stage for ubuntu, i have to cold reboot.

this is what happens with knoppix

SOLVED! i'm actually writing from my gOS - ubuntu with everything going smoothly, except for xp! what i did:
in the bios
-i changed from sata 1 to sata 4
-i excluded internal video card
-i used a normal -non usb - keyboard (actually the system booted the same)
and every flavour of linux finally started to boot, thanks for every answer you gave me.
as a user told me xp now refuses to start, even if i put back sata and bios, just for test, but at the moment i don't care
