http://forums.opensuse.org – I cannot get the new 11.2 to install on my machine. THe moment i hit enter at the boot prompt to begin installation, the scree just goes black and unresponsive - caps & scroll lock lights on the keyboard light up and remain lit. no disk activity whatsoever. I tried installing various resolutions, in text mode none gets past the black screen. Acer aspire AM1100 Athlon XP 3600+ (64x2) 8GB ram Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. edit: Note - 11.1 never had this problem. Also it is not the same post install ATI driver issue from other threads. This hang up happens immediately after the boot prompt so I cannot even install 11.2 (Distributions)

So, I just booted my computer (Acer Aspire One (AOA 150) with Ubuntu 9.04 or something...I'm in the process of getting the new iso for a new install) after two years of non-use and found that it had a new development: Sometimes the screen goes black with just the cursor, the caps lock light blinks, and it is completely frozen.

Hi,

I've been trying to boot and install from a live-CD of Fedora 17, on my laptop. The laptop is a HP g6-1150sd with an Radeon graphics-card. But after booting the live-CD, the screen goes black. Is there a boot-option I can give at start-up, so that I can eventually install from the live-CD?

How do I install Ubuntu on my powerpc G5? which version do I download? where do I download it from? and how do I get it to install?
