** Description changed: PROBLEM: Ubuntu isn't able to boot on my laptop and hangs mostly on "Loading hardware drivers..." (in two instances got a couple of lines further but that could be an anomaly). This occurs both on live-CD and after installation (alternate text installation works) - yes different dics/downloads, the media is fine. So far I've been able to get my hands on DSL 3.2 (damn small linux) and SimplyMEPIS-DVD_6.0-1_i386 and both of them boot but lack stuff like touchpad. More detailed specs below. Via install-CD recovery I can get to a shell in the root. QUESTIONS: On long term I suppose I'll have to start retrieving info about possible problemspots (whose ot say it's just one in there) to first get it to boot to desktop. That will be the end of this bug, I suppose. - On short term I'll have to try to access Grub to make it doubleboot to Vista for now to have some internet access. To be able to do most things, as rescue gives me only limited access, I'm going to need some way to boot to shell at least. + On short term to be able to do most things, as rescue gives me only limited access, I'm going to need some way to boot to shell at least.
