Can't install Ubuntu 8.04 on Compaq Evo D510, but can install 8.04 LTS Server.
Trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop on a Compaq Evo D510 SFF ( P4, 256MB, 40GB IDE hard drive. When you try to install the Hardy Heron splash screen comes up, the a white rectangular box with a little install icon appears in the middle of the screen. The CD-ROM flashes merrily but when it stops flashing, the mouse and the computer are locked up, CD won't reject. - I have a similar problem when trying to install 7.10. I can boot to the desktop and then click on the "Install" icon on the desktop and the CD spins for a while then the computer locks. Interestingly, after these failed attempts, I was able to successfully install and configure 8.04 LTS Server on the same PC. Any thoughts, suggestions? Thanks.
Ditto on HP Pavilion a705w. Intel Celeron, 256MB, 80GB... Updated drivers, no help. Tried Ubuntu 7.10 & 8.04.1 Both install and "Live" Waiting for Alternate Disc to download. Feh.
