Hi, I am very new to Kubuntu and i'm trying to get it running on an old laptop that i have.
the laptop is an Acer Travelmate 342T, Its pretty ancient.. its specs are:
Intel 3 500mhz
128mb ram
When trying to boot it comees up with the message:
irq 15: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
handlers:
{<c0252040>} (ide_intr+0x0/0x200)
If i try to boot with the IRQPOLL option it gets to different stages of the boot and just stops. For example, i'm just trying to boot now and it's gotten to "configuring some drivers" and has been sittting there with OK for over 30mins.
Any ideas? is this laptop too old to run kubuntu perhaps?
thanks
Adam
