@Tom: So, the last Ubuntu that installed clean on this Compaq Armada 7730MT was 8.04(!?!). All later versions exhibit problems similar to this original bug report.
Installing Ubuntu 8.04 and upgrading through 10.04 took 3 days, but it ran happily enuf. However, *only* kernel 2.6.28-18 booted properly. All subsequent kernels spewed with errors above my pay grade :( Sadly, I've decided to abandon ongoing efforts in spite of my habit of squeezing blood from the technology turnips. I've installed a more chronologically compatible Win2k and donated it to a starving student for another few years of service. Thanks, /p2 -- fails to boot after clean install; memory allocation problem (older Compaq server) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513528 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
