Dell Inspiron 15

I've been trying to install Elementary OS on my Dell Inspiron 15. However when I try to boot it, it take me to a black screen with the text busybox on it. I've tried Elementary Luna and Jupiter and the same result occured. Linux Mint and Ubuntu booted and installed successfully, so I'm not sure what the problem with Elementary is as it boots perfectly from my Desktop.

Elementary OS is version 0.2 — that mean that the developers don't consider it a finished product, or it would be version 1. It has no user forum, so that means it's difficult to get help. It obviously is having trouble with your AMD graphics chip. If Mint doesn't, it might save a lot of bother to stick with that!

Reading the post possible the chip may have a problem ,I am running Elementary OS is version 0.2 on an AMD Graphic Chip and it's work ,only problem I had is that ,when I went to the software center it freeze while installing wine.

I did a system clean and update work fine no problem since then, very light OS simple and looks good for old computers
