Hi,
I have been using Ubuntu for almost three years in two different notebooks. No major problems to report except with ACPI, the use of an external monitor, no sound or special keys.
All of them were totally or partially solved with sucess after some googling. Comparing with Windows, I am very happy with Ubuntu, its absolutely great.
Until the arrival of Ubuntu 8.04. I used an original LiveCD to install it but with no success. Same behavior with the alternate CD.
It starts with no problem but the progress bar freezes almost at the begining, when "Loading hardware drivers" appears.
Already tried the same tricks with ACPI (noacpi, acpi=off, etc...)
Help appreciated
TIA
Pedro Santos
