I have an old Compaq Armada E700. Jaunty (Ubuntu & Xubuntu) & Linux Mint Gloria live CDs will not boot on the E700. I have used the same live CDs to install elsewhere so I know they are all good.

E700 worked well with Intrepid (Ubuntu, Xubuntu), Hardy (Ubuntu) and Feisty (Ubuntu). I (rather recklessly) used used the Update feature in Intrepid Ubuntu to upgrade to Jaunty and ended up with a system that did not boot and well out of my depth. Fortunately I had lost no data so took the opportunity to try out Intrepid Xubuntu which I will stick with for now as it works OK for me.

My Compaq Armada E700 is beyond all but basic use so would be happy to experiment. I would be happy to spend some time following instructions to explore this further if this would be helpful.
