Hi everyone,
Sorry to make my first post so long! It has been a week now that i have been trying to install 8.04 over an entire 30gb Quantum Fireball HDD. And I believe I have made a new enemy...HAL.
I have achieved installation success after turning off the first two options of the F6 menu before loading the installer. And once, I actually visited the desktop after install and reboot. During this visit I downloaded and updated about 56 items including the proprietary drivers for my NVIDIA FX5500. Then i did the necessary reboot and have never seen the desktop again.
The reason for this is that I kept getting hung up on "starting the HAL hald". After some research I figured out how to manually start this process, after manually starting the DBUS.
This got me past the HAL on startup but it still freezes at different points past starting the HAL. Sometimes on Bluetooth. Sometimes on the ATD scheduler.
I gave up, I thought that maybe the graphics driver was the problem so I wiped the system with a fresh install from the LIVE CD. No work, same problem and this time I cant even get to the login screen even once.
I have hit a dead end in my search for answers so I'm looking for help. Thanks alot!
