today i booted my Ubuntu from a P4 2.8ghz based machine.
at first i tried my HDD installed Ubuntu. it stops at mounting drive. ok so fine, i tried other IDE slots, changing master to slave just in case the device settings and such - didn't work either.
ok so i then tried other ways of booting, like recovery mode - didn't work either.
so next up, LiveCD. strangely it'll reach the language preference part and refuses to move........AT ALL.
at this point - it gets pretty annoying. tried other keyboard (not via KVM) - didn't work either. tried it just to confirm, cos it's really weird. how could one access BIOS and manage settings yet not able to choose language?
it's really strange as i've actually used Ubuntu on this particular machine before and it worked flawlessly.
so fine, i recalled my earlier use was on a P4 2.4 and not a 2.8. so i switched the P4 2.8 to P4 2.4 (both are 512kb /533fsb models) and voila!!! it worked!!!!!!
strange? yes it is..... do they have a ghz limit or something? i doubt chipset was an issue either.

erm. i haven't tried SERVER mode but i think that's what it's for isn't it?  ended up CLI. are you waiting for the GUI? maybe you should do the default installation. |

mine had no problem with the Nvidia 6200. but i just use default drivers and at 1024. btw  i was showing my friends Ubuntu - but i don't know where to set the ADSL/PPPoE connection thing. i looked every where too used to setting it within my network (DHCP / Static IP) until forgot to look into this part. |

QUOTE(toratoza @ Mar 17 2006, 03:58 PM) I didn't have to do any setting for ADSL connection - (Are you using a USb adsl modem?). It was done automatically. Just make sure you network cable is connected. I did a reboot once with the net cable out and plug it in after Ubuntu boot up - but it failed to connect to the internet. That was with Live CD! Try it and see if it works out this way. yeah well on my network ubuntu no problem. cos my network all set already - just DHCP can settle it. manually configure IP also no problem. the thing is no matter how you connect - you still need a PPPoE dialer to establish a connection - that dialer is no where to be found....... metalhead, thx for the post - didn't know that the PPPoE dialer needs to be downloaded. downloading is not a problem, cos my Ubuntu has been folding and sending WUs and such. i'll probably try it out so that i know what to do next time when i need to connect manually. |

another thing i face is the session thing. let's say if i use VNC to log out, then when i want to log in again i'll have this 'you logged in less than 10 seconds blablablabla' thing that keep refuses to let me login to the UI.
so end up reboot, go to CLI /safe mode. then reboot again. blablabla.
