The hardware: an old Dell Vectra VL800 PC, 20 GB SCSI hard drive, 1 GB RAM, Pentium 4 1.7 Ghz CPU.
The system meets minimums for Ubuntu 12.1. During the install, I encounter a couple of odd items:
IO space for GPIO uninitated
and
load fallback graphic devices [fail]
sound card mixer state [fail]
It resulted in a cursor at the top left corner of a blank screen. Holding the power button and forcing a shutdown obtains a reaction of the install shutting down.
I attempted to install Lubuntu with the same result (minus the load fallback).
I did successfully install Ubuntu 9.04 and the latest version of Damn Small Linux. Both ran nicely.
Any thoughts as to the install issue?
Thanks,
Sandor
