Hey guys, long time no see. 
Anyway I'm hoping you can help me out here, I was really looking forward to getting Kubuntu onto my new tablet, and this was a real dream crusher.
I wubi'd in a Kubuntu fresh off of my 8.04 CD (I'm not used to KDE4 just yet, preference thing. Plus I have NEVER had a problem with 8.04, I trust it. hehe) and after it was done installing under Windows (Vista Home Premium if important) I rebooted it and it booted up to do the rest of its installing. Well the progress bar got about 80% full, then it stopped, unloaded itself as if shutting down, and turned off the PC. Didn't reboot, actually turned it off. I thought ok, that's a bit weird. Maybe a bad installation. Reinstalled. Same thing. Then I figured maybe my prized 8.04 CD got screwed up in storage, so I booted it up and went to check it for defects. The Loading Linux Kernel message appeared, got to 100%, and the system halted. Had to be shut down from the power button.
Next I figured, OK, maybe it's because it's an older distro. I got a wubi off the net, and this time went with Ubuntu. Then of course I got the verbose loading screen which was handy, and it halted on the package I believe was called powerownd or something to that effect. Sounds like linux doesn't like my new tablet's power management system.
OK, specs:
HP TX2150 Tablet PC
2.1 AMD Turion X2
3 GB DDR2 Memory
250 GB HDD
Vista Home Premium, SP1.
In the meantime I'm going to keep trying different distros, see if anything sticks. But if I'm going to use linux on here I'd REALLY like to use Kubuntu, it was my first linux and I love it to death.
Thanks everybody!

), but I have seen postings about SATA settings (AHCI, or something like that vs. another setting), in BIOS that needs to be tweaked. I think Dibl has posted about that from time to time. Hope this helps.
