Hello
I have been searching for anything that could help me all day, but to no avail.
There are similar questions but nothing that has been useful to me.
Im trying to install ubuntu srever 9.04 on a brand new machine, there is no previous OS on this thing and i built it myself. (which could have something to do with it)
After I run the installer disc, it says that it is successful, ejects the disc and prompts me for a restart. But upon restart (and after the splash screen for the BIOS) all I get is a black screen, no cursor, no loading signal, nothing...
Also nothing happens if I try 'control alt F1' or any other key combo (not even the konami code works
I have read about people being able to boot from a 'live' CD but I don't seem to have anything that gives me that option.
I have tried both the 64bit and 32bit disks thinking that might be it, but I get the same thing.
Any thing any one can suggest, or even point me to a previous post, would be greatly appreciated.
Also I'm originally a Mac user and this is my first attempt at anything out side that pretty little bubble, so be kind
thanks
