[Guest]

Hi i have a system of the following configuration.
OS:Windows Xp
Processor: Intel 2.8 HT
Motherboard:Intel 865GBF with on board display
RAM:1GB
Hdisk:80 Gb.
I received a Kubuntu 7.10 Live Cd last week from Canonical(Thanks Guys).
I am trying to install Gusty Gibbon with dual boot windows.After restart and boot from CD in BIOS,the kernel appears and
i have chosen Start or Install Kubuntu
after which the progress bar appears and goes forth and back afew times
and now the problem,the system crashes and the monitor appears like when a video game has crashed.What could be the problem. I tried the documentation but its of little help.So someone pls help me out guys.

I am not the most qualified bloke for this problem here but I'll give you something to try while the others in the States are still in bed

When you boot up you have a number of options to do with the function keys. Try adjusting for example the monitor resolution. If that does not work, start the CD in "safe mode" or whatever it is called and report back.

BTW, why didn't you download the CD? No broadband?

well again i don't know how to fix your problem but i thought i would give it a try. Maybe you could try the ubuntu live cd see if you can install that then you can always just switch from ubunto to kubuntu after install.

Re: Live CD doesnt boot

When you see the "crash", what do you see, exactly? Black screen, with blinking white "_" in the upper left corner?

During the crash,no "_" command prompt doesnt appear.Its a colourful screen,like a half loaded jpeg image garbled and the system doesnt work num lock on the keyboard doenst work.Cant explain it fully how bcos cannot take the screenshot(Da..).Also as easoukenka said i tried the ubuntu live CD as well.Same problem.Also tried in safe graphics mode...same.
