Hmm, I actually quite liked both 10.1 and 10.2 but, to be absolutely
honest I did not use either very much. I cannot remember just how far
in it got before dying. I remember seeing it probing for USB devices
and then going on from there. That's it. I was froze (this was
yesterday afternoon in my workshop) and I just wanted to get back in
the house.
Sorry, am behind on my LUG mail...
Try booting it with various kernel parameters, like noapic, noacpi or
noauto. These are detailed by hitting F1, F2, F3 etc at the installer's
boot prompt. These options are normally passed to the installer at the
boot prompt in the form:
linux <options>
Such as
linux noacpi
Ultimately though, it may make no difference if your hardware isn't
supported by the kernel used by the installer.
Also try booting without the splash screen and 'CTRL-alt'ing between F1
and F6 during the installation as they contain diagnostic, boot and
installer output.
