[Preston] Linux on HP pavilion desktop

[mick sharpe]

Hi mark try running also from a USB stick as you may have a dirty or old
lens problem in the drive.  If it works then its likely the drive but I
would think the best option is to try the kernel options first and try boot
into run level 3 which is text mode only to bypass any graphical  problems
on initial boot.   From here you can then switch to level 5 which is full
gui and proceed to trouble shoot from there.
Hope this helps

Anyone got any experience with this? Tried several flavours and evetlryone
crashes at some stage during install but certain live CDs will run. Nothing
logged or shown just freezes.

Cheers.

Mark.
