Hi Saivann, I have made some progress ( but only a little) I have removed my DVD drive and replaced it with an old Cd drive . Now I can get past the initramsf problem. The install freezes after the Ubuntu bar flashes back and forth, on the panel that first comes up headed install. The mouse works but whatever is ubuntu is trying to draw in the window is frozen and seen as random pixels. I need to solve this problem.
Shall I log it as another bug ?. Can you help me collect some more information on what the problem could be ?. I never seem to get as far as a GRUB screen. If I hit esc as the language selector loads at the beginning I get to a boot ? prompt. But I can't seem to do anything in it.?. Thanks Again.
