I have a problem that I have never experienced before when trying to install a Distro from a Live DVD.
The Distro is Linux Mint 14, contained on a "Linux User and Developer" mag disk 121. The Live version loads and runs beautifully, and I am so impressed with its performance, that I want to install it. There are two ways, Double-clicking the 'Install' symbol on the Desktop, or single clicking an entry on the Menu. There is no consistent reason given for failure. They are :- "Problem compatibility with kernel PAE" " BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000f4" The PC is an HP D51C/P2.4 with a Compaq mother board and BIOS - A Pentium R 2.4 Gigs is the CPU, with 1Gig of RAM and hard drives sda at 40 gig, and sdb at 80 gig. Sdb is not yet programmed in GRUB. Sda has Debian 5 installed - kernel 2.6.32-5-686, but I can not see how this affects the installability of Mint. Any thoughts would be helpful.
