Hi there,
I'm completely new to Ubuntu so am unsure what to do here but here goes:
I've downloaded Ubuntu 8.04, then I opened the iso via daemon tools in windows vista. It gave me the option to install perfectly and I have done so on a partition. When it askes to restart I have two operating systems to pick: vista and ubuntu. When I click ubuntu all I seem to get is this:
[ 54.927762] ACPI: EC: acpi_ec_wait timeout, status = 0, expect_event = 1
[ 54.927810] ACPI: EC: read timeout, command = 128
after thinking maybe it needs the ISO mounted onto a cd (which is recommended I know) I followed the instructions on the ubuntu site about mounting and I downloaded and used ISOrecorder.
So then I un-intalled my original attempt of ubuntu via the windows option. Restarted the computer with the cd in the drive. A ubuntu logo popped up and then soon gave me the option to just browse the operating system or install. I tried both and exactly the same problem happened to me like before. That code was showing. Nothing would load. I had to restart my computer without the cd in.
Any help with this people. What am I doing wrong?
My computer is fully up to spec as I only got it last September it's a sony vaio vgn-n38z with 140gb 2gb ram and 1.67 ghz intel processor.
Thanks for help
