Redoubts, was there a network cable plugged into your machine while trying to install/run the live system? If yes, would it be possible for you to try again without the cable plugged in?
If this "fixes" the problem this could be a duplicate of bug 1225571. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1237541 Title: Artigo A1100 Fails to Boot/Install with 13.10 Beta 2 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have an Artigo A1100 mini-computer, which ran Ubuntu 13.04 fine. Spec Sheet here: http://www.viaembedded.com/en/products/DatasheetPreview/1351/11620/VIA_ARTiGO_A1100_datasheet_v110126.pdf.html I attempted a clean install of 13.10 Beta 2 via a live USB, and found the Live CD, Desktop Install, and Server install to all fail to load properly. The Live CD / Desktop install failed to boot, and froze at the point shown in the attachment. The cursor continued to blink, but made no progress beyond that. The Server Install becomes unresponsive at the language selection screen - the first dialog of the text installer. This appears to be a regression, as 13.04 and 12.04 both install and run fine on this hardware.
