Compaq Ipaq install lubuntu 12.04 problems

[Lester]

Hello,

I try to install lubuntu 12.04 on the old compaq ipaq systems from 2001

One system is a celeron 800Mhz with 512ram and 20gb hdd. (install fails) black screen

The second system is a pentium III with 512ram and 40gb hdd.(install fails) black screen

The offline try demo install works fine,and i can see lubuntu on both systems.

If i want to install lubuntu compleet on the systems installation it always fails

I even check the both systems hdd but the smartfunctie shows is ok good condition hdd,no bad sectors.

If the optical slimline drive is not correct,then the install setup is not show right?
So i think the opticale cdrom drive is ok

what can be the problem?
i try other ways to get lubuntu on the compaq ipaq systems from the year 2001

Hope you all can help,
already thanks

regards
Lester

Before selecting install press F6 and select nomodeset

[Jonathan Marsden (jmarsden)]

Why is this issue reported against lxkeymap ? That does not seem correct.

On PCs with less that about 768MB RAM, please use the Alternate CD image to install from. It uses less RAM than the LiveCD during installation.

On PCs with less than 512MB RAM, you can try using the Netboot ISO (mini.iso) image, which is even smaller, and then selecting Lubuntu at the software selection screen. See

  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall

for details about that.

Hoi Steve,
Try a research on those systems with lubuntu 12.04
Compaq Ipaq systems from 2001 with chipset 815e
I did try F6 but it didnt fix the problems on those systemsall the options i try with F6 didnt work.
Lubuntu 12.04 full installation works great with a Compaq evo D510sff systems smootly,but lubuntu didnt install or doesnt work with Compaq Ipaq systems so far (chipset 815e)even changing the bios to defaults or try to switch off the acpi s3 in the bios didnt help.all the options F6 include nomodeset didnt work,still get the black screen at almost the endof the installation process,i think one or two minuten before you get the restarting window.i now that because i did succesfully install it on a compaq D510Sff.

Closing due to age. Lubuntu 12.04 is out of support.

If problems appear while installing 16.04 a good first step is discussing the case in Ubuntuforum.
