I have an old emachine that I am trying to get ubuntu loaded on. It is a 3.2ghz celeron w/2gb ram and an ati 4200ish hd video card +plus an onboard video card that I do not use. I have tried to install from CD, from USB, and am currently attempting to install from an alternate iso. From the cd (reg ISO) I get purple screen and then it blinks and goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left of the screen and stays there. I have left it there for about 30min at the longest. On the USB after I went all over the forums to get it to boot I get stuck with a screen full of info the last line is [ 3.531106] ACPI: Power Button [PWRF]. I plan on leaving this running while i run to the store just to see if I was not waiting long enough. I was able to install ubuntu 11.10 on my other computer a windows 7 machine with an amdx64 cpu and 4gb ram with almost no issues.
Thanks for any help.
