(Get the code!)
First: remember that 8.10 will not install at all because of the
[258.772014]BUG: soft lockup -CPU #0 stuck for 61s ! problem.
Second: although you may know all the ins and outs of this system, I was attracted to Ubunto because of ease of use. What appears to be required is not for novices.
Third: Even if I get 8.04.1 to install, would I then be unable to upgrade to 8.10 without having all of these problems return?
I have wasted two days trying to get this working, so unless there is going to be a patched version that fixes the problem, then I doubt whether Ubunto is going to work for me.
@Per:
Thanks Per, I did try to do everything as you described, but as you know it may not have gone exactly as you would expect. I ended up with my screen going completely white and not being able to see anything
@Teej:
I cannot get the O/S to work so operations like cut and paste, or print, or attach to post, or connect to internet are not possible.
