Hello,
I just wanted to preface this with some background information. I've been running ubuntu (5.04 then 5.10) successfully for some time. I've been wanting to try out kubuntu as I prefer kde to gnome.
Last week I upgraded my computer to the following:
ASUS A8N32-SLI (nforce 4)
evga geforce 7800 gt
AMD 64 X2 4200
2GB corsair 3800LLC Pro (2x1024MB)
needless to say my ubuntu installation (on an asus a7n8x (nforce2) ) wouldn't boot (k7 and 386 kernels both failed with new hardware) . No worries, since I wanted to install kubuntu anyways.
kubuntu 5.10 (cd and dvd) both failed to run in live mode (i didn't bother to try an install since live didn't work). They hung right after x started up, but before all the kde settings were loaded.
I took the opportunity to try the dapper drake kubuntu 64 live cd and dapper drake kubuntu 386 live cd. They both start up just fine and hang in the exact same spot.
After loading all the drivers and such, X starts up and you see a nice light blue background. Right here it freezes. I can still move the mouse cursor, but nothing else happens. I never see it initialize any of the KDE settings or load anyting.
I'm assuming it is hardware related. However my hardware is all brand new, maybe too new to be supported? The drive is 200GB Western Digital IDE that I have had for a year now. The monitor is a ViewSonic p95f+. The cd/dvd drive is an HP DVD burner and the network card is a D-Link DWL G520 rev B.
I have used the harddrive, monitor, dvd burner, and dlink successfully in ubuntu 5.04 and ubuntu 5.10. So I am assuming that the issue is related to the new motherboard, video card, or processor.
Thank you for your time and support. I will try to boot the ubuntu 64 and the ubuntu 386 live cd's later today so I can see if they start up, that would at least give me more feedback to post.
