Installation hangs during boot on new computer

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1947 / 2 Years ago, sat, september 17, 2022, 3:35:07

I wanted to install Ubuntu 11.10 on my new PC. But LiveUSB hangs on boot (stops at line x initrd memory freed; if I press enter it writes some more lines and hangs again, this time completely).

Tried also LiveCD, Ubuntu 12.04 alpha, Fedora 15, Rescatux (Debian), noapic, nolapic, safe mode and everything won't boot.

Currently I'm forced to use Windows7. My config:

Processor AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core

RAM 8,00 GB

Graphic Gigabyte GV-N56GOC-1GI (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560)

Mainboard Gigabyte GA-870A-USB3

Network cards:

Compact Wireless-G USB

Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

Well, I managed to do it! I had to:

use alternate ISO

use a CD, not a pendrive

use PS/2 keyboard (my USB keyboard is crazy, even under Windows, it didn't work with LiveCD)

use acpi=off, noapic, nolapic

Now I only have one issue left: Resolution is 1024x768, but this is because Acer AL1716 doesn't like Linux at all... I think it's time for xorg.conf editing...
