Then you can try to install using a different parameter.

Did it have Linux of some sort already installed? The KX~ model
number seems to indicate that. According to HP's website, KX872AA
comes with SUSE Enterprise Linux. If so, why attempt the switch to
Ubuntu?
I've found Mandriva 2008 to be very good in particular for dealing
with Intel and other graphics chipsets. HP specs give the 2133's as
VIA Chrome 9 -- I don't know what that is.
