Hello everyone! I have a laptop Asus eeepc 1001ha with Intel chipset. Any kernel after 9.04 wouldn't load. The tweak with parameters in a boot line (e.g., nomodeset) wouldn't help. Not a single distro would work, except the earlier versions, which is weird because the laptop was launched at the end of 2009. Thank God I haven't removed my Windows partition. By the way, I am the only one with such problems with this particular laptop which is weird; the hardware is OK. I can't figure out what is wrong. I have just tried Lucid Lynx, and, just like previous times, the installation wouldn't go further than the logo (after I press "install") Alternate CDs wouldn't load as well. Suse, Fedora wouldn't load as well. Checked with different USB flashes, using different programs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Now I am thinking about switching again to BSD, but there might be some hardware compatibility issues.
I don't want to use 9.04 since there are some performance issues. "nomodeset" worked for me for Xubuntu 9.10, but the overall performance was also very poor, and I had to download the early release because of the kernel.
Another issue is my videocard's driver (intel); I checked: when I decided to try the later versions, the screen would freeze; I had to roll back to the previous ones.
