View Full Version : [ubuntu] Installing 10.10 on x58

I have an EVGA E760 motherboard with an x58 chipset that seems to be affected by a defect in the kernel used by the 10.10 installation disc - everything is amazingly slow. Even typing lags. Other people have reported success by upgrading to the prerelease kernel.

My trouble is that I can't even get 10.10 installed; after about four hours of waiting for it, I give up. Other times it has locked up.

Can anyone point me toward an alternate installer disc? Or perhaps toward an explanation of how to build a custom installation disc (so I can replace the kernel with a newer version that doesn't have this issue).

:)

10.04 works fine; so does Fedora 14.

You can find the Alternate Installation CD for Ubuntu 10.10 on this page:

This thread details how to upgrade the kernel form the Live CD:

This is the specific section of customising the Live CD that details how to change the kernel:
