Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15
Hi! Im unable to install ubuntu 7.10 on my HP Compaq nx9105 laptop. The installer starts, but it hangs when tries to switch to nativ(?) resolution. I have tried the "Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode" but didnt helped, it hangs the same way. Here are some photos, the laptop dont answer to the keyboard (caps lock), so I assume its hard freeze. http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/889/img001ga4.jpg Sometime it freeze just before this: http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/8306/img008hn6.jpg I have read the help menu, but unable to boot in the: rescue live-expert mode simply because it does not exist. (failed to boot the kernel image). The exact graphics controller: 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go 32M] (rev a3) I used debian on this laptop the past two years or so. My main winchester almost died (it is horribly slow, to boot into linux takes from 30-40 minutes), so I wanted to try ubuntu, OR copy my old winchester to the new one. However on this ubuntu installer there is no text mode. So it hangs in every way. (the installer complain about the broadcom 4306 wifi card too. I used this wifi card with the bcm43xx.berlios.de driver) My question is: How is it possible to install ubuntu on this computer? Please let me know if You need some additional information.
