7.10 64 installation problem

[dextro]

hi all, been awhile since ive run linux and decided to give kubuntu 64bit a shot instead of vista64 bit.
the installation seems to go fine and spits the cd out then asks to reboot however after grub loads the last screen i see is kernel is alive mapping kernel 100000-8000 or something like this then the pc seems to go into a sleep mode or the video signal is killed at least and never comes back?any help is appreciated

I have the same problem, except I can't even get through an install. Any option on the DVD that i try ends up with the Kernel is Alive thing and then the same numbers. After that the monitor is black.

This is the culprit -- but don't think of it that way, it's a great card. Here's some guidance that should help, but you'll have to take a few stabs at it, I'm sure -- you've got a "character-building" process on your hands:

As soon as you can get a VESA display going, use Konqueror, and get Envy installed, you can use Envy to do the Nvidia driver installation.
