Hi
Just tried to install Kubuntu 8.10 on my system. I burned the live cd (i386) and tried to boot. First I tried to install directly, but this gave a black screen and sort of froze - afterwards I tried to boot into Kubuntu, but that kind of crashed as well.
I was able to log in to tty1, but I'm not really proficient enough to get anything useful out of that.
I checked the CD for defects and the report said nothing is wrong.
I've run Kubuntu 8.04 on the machine without problems and hardware hasn't changed.
Currently I have a dual-boot setup with Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.04 which works without problems.
