Hi! :)
I tried to install Ubuntu 11.10 on my Acer Aspire One Happy N550 but unfortunately I can't even reach the bootscreen where you choose to run it live or install. All I get is a text line for .5 seconds (Syslink 4.04 Ubuntu copyright 2011 something) and then a blinking cursor, even after waiting 20 minutes...
Its hard to explain what happens exactly so I made this video:

(the text flashes up at 0.22)
What I did to solve the problem:
- BIOS update
- used another USB Stick
- tested both the x86 and the x64 version
- tried out different tools to create the boot disk
- connected the netbook to a full HD screen to see if the low native resolution is the problem
I tested the whole thing on my other laptop using the same USB stick and it always worked fine o_O
Do you guys have any idea what the problem is?
Thanks in advance!
Have a nice weekend,
Richard.
