Hi,
several months ago, I successfully burned & installed an image of Kubuntu 8.04, but due to my outdated graphics card (NVIDIA Riva TNT 2 64), I ran into problems after trying to install the NVIDIA driver. I tried to perform a new installation, but I accidentally made some scratches into the CD, so I burned a new one. Since then, I haven't been able to install Kubuntu anew. After several attempt to burn a new CD and trying to install Kubuntu (I didnt get the installer, only some mysterious message at the bottom of the screen), I burned Ubuntu (Gnome) 8.04 instead. I am getting the startup screen, but am not able to select a language, since my keyboard is disabled for some reason. After about 20 seconds, the Ubuntu screen shows up automatically, but after that I am getting the prompt <initramfs>. I have no idea on how to proceed after that. Does anybody have an idea what's wrong here? I downloaded the boot images from the official site.
Thanks,
Claus
