Hi

Just tried 9.10 on my Dad's PC and when booting from the CD and choosing install it goes through a list of components and then hangs on start_kernel 0x7c/0x83. Just sits there forever.

I have also tried the wubi/ISO installation same thing happens. Tried this now 4 times always same thing.

Sorry as I am noob I dont understand why this is as 9.1 installed fine on my toshiba laptop without issues.

Anyone help?

He has a
AMD Althon CPU
512MB

Thanks
