Linux on Aspire 3610

    Hi there,

    I'm having trouble doing a clean installation of Ubuntu on an Aspire 3610.
    The Ubuntu cd loads up alright displaying the Ubuntu status bar, however it just seems to stall a couple of minutes later - there is no action from the cd rom drive and a blank screen is produced. I end up just restarting the machine.


    I have installed Ubuntu on many machines and never came across this.
    Has anybody experienced this or have a solution?

    Did you run the built in CD diagnostic to check that your copy is intact? Tried any other live CDs?

    Yes - the Cd is grand as I previously installed Ubuntu on another machine from that CD.

    I tried to install Linux Mint and this did not give me an option to install the operating system but to only boot direct from the cd. When I restarted the machine without the Mint CD inside XP still on the machine with no trace of Mint.

    Its a strange one...any other ideas?

    Thanks

    Do you have 256 or lower RAM?

    Try the alternate CD

    The machine has 256 of RAM and a processor of 1.5GHz.
    However I did earlier put ubuntu on a machine with 256 Ram @ 2.0GHz.

    Would it be the processor speed that is the problem?
