Public bug reported:
System is Toshiba 1805 note book 800 MHz mobile Celeron 256 MB RAM with
224 available Triton CyberBlade/i1 graphics 1024X768 60 Hz display 14 GB
hard drive (8.5 GB FAT 32, 5.6 GB ext3, 384 MB swap) This system has
been running Xubuntu 7.04 (and ME) nicely but attempt to upgrade to 7.10
fails. Xubuntu 7.10 live CD has same problems as I describe here.
Xubuntu 8.04 Beta (d/l 28Mar08) progress' through starting the live CD up until
it switches from text mode to the X server - I removed "quiet" from the boot
options line before starting.
display becomes completely black - CD stops spinning - [ctrl] C,
[ctrl][alt][del] and [ctrl][alt][F1] ignored - have to cycle power to shut down
I think I've tried all the start-up options (normal & safe graphics along with
the F6 options) without any success
I'm willing to try just about anything to help you 'cause I'd really like to
get 8.04 running on this notebook.
-------------------------
For what its worth I've tried these live CD's on this machine (hope that these
give you some ideas):
Each distro's iso md5sum was verified
Each disk was verified as matching the iso
Each disk was booted successfully on Compaq Presario 1265 mini tower
Knopix 3.9 dies scanning hard drive partitions (2) & creating fstab
Dam Small Linux dies somewhere before configuring X
Kanotix-2007-Thorhammer-RC7 says it can't find the CD it booted from!
Puppy-3.01-seamonkey (also 2.14, 2.15 & 2.17) won't start X
SLAX-6.0.3 won't start X
Xubuntu 7.10 (desktop or alternate) won't start X
Xubuntu 8.04 beta won't start X

Pclos-gnome2008 works so well I installed it but software is badly outdated
Pclinuxos-2007 works fine but I don't like KDE
Xubuntu 7.04 live CD display isn't right but installs and runs well
Dream linux 2.2MMGL works but can't get screen resolution right
