Comment 80 for bug 212271

I have downloaded the Hardy-RC-Release and wanted to install 8.04. After starting the Live-CD the system says: "Failed to initialize hal".

I'm using the Pinnacle TV-Card and the Creative XFI-Xtreme AUDIO (with no driver Support in Linux, only other XFI-Xtreme Cards are supported :( ).

Now I cannot start the installation of Hardy. After opening the link nothing happens, no new window - nothing. I can start firefox from the live CD but not the installation! What should I do?

I installed 7.10 without any problems, updated the system and than did an upgrade with "update-manager --devel-release".

After install, the system does not start. I will post the output of the system in a few minutes.

I hope this can be fixed untill the final release, because I have no experiences with Linux and don't know what to do.
