Machine Dell optiplex110, 1GHz, 384 Meg memory, recent Ubuntu installed and working. Machine is neither on line nor networked.
downloaded CD checksum OK on both of two different downloads/ CDs. When booting from CD: all options except boot from first hard disk result in: Ubunto logo shows load bar shows bright for about 4 pixels loading essential drivers.... ok mounting root file system ... Hangs at this point. Nothing happens for more than 30 minutes. Same results with two different downloads / CDs. Booting from hard disk works OK. Any suggestions?? ------------------------------------------------------------------- From another thread: Jeff Epler wrote: > On Tue, Jun 19, 2007 at 04:10:18AM -0700, Craig wrote: > >> How much memory is required to install form the CD? >> > > The Ubuntu documentation says that the official CD requires 256MB, but > some people have had trouble with less than 320MB and our live installer > CD. > > If you're on a lower-memory machine, then you may want to get the > official "server" installer CD (text-mode, not live installation) and > add the desktop (e.g., ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, or > kubuntu-desktop) and emc2 packages after preliminary installation. > According to Ubuntu, the "server" CD requires 64 megabytes RAM, but I > doubt the desktops work well (or maybe at all) with that little RAM. > > There's also an "alternate desktop CD" (text-mode install but you get > ubuntu-desktop after the first reboot) but I don't see how much RAM that > requires. > > Download official Ubuntu CDs (make sure you select "Ubuntu 6.06 LTS" to > run emc2): > http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download > Release notes including RAM requirements for official Ubuntu 6.06: > > http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/606#head-e15a51f7ff4cac464dfd54cbed7506ef13814de3 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
