Okay, there are a couple of issues at work here and the following bug
https:/
sheds some small amount of light on the subject.
I didn't install 8.04 originally because kernel 2.6.24 does not support the intel 5100/5300 wireless chipsets.
I've installed 8.04.1 but due to it running kernel 2.6.24 the wireless does not work. However, I don't have any of the boot related issues that I've had with 8.10 usplash doesn't cause a horrible beeping noise. and since the wireless card doesn't work no bootstrap failures. iwlagn seems to be the problem. from the other bug report it seems that there may be a conflict between nvidia 177 driver which I'm using due to using a geforce 9600m gs card. I'll disable it and see what happens and get back to you on this. there's some other unsupported components in my computer under 2.6.24 as well to bad they didn't use 2.6.26.
