Bug Description
Recently I have tried to install Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop travelmate 2423. However this installation procedure does not work fine.
At the beginning, I want to install it directly from the CD. This does not work. After selecting the item " installation", the computer is frozen and showed " Loading please waiting". I have waited one day for this. But it did not start the installation.
So I decided to install Ubuntu 8.10 on my computer first. There is no problem to install ubuntu 8.10. After that I made an update from Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu 9.04. However, this update made the computer to start abnormally. It is frozen and showed " Loading please waiting".
To address this problem, I press "Esc" after start, choosing "kernel 2.6.27-15" rather than "Kernel 2.6.28-16" .Then the computer works fine.
My questions:
1. Why I can not install Ubuntu 9.04 directly?
2. Why Kernel 2.6.28-16 blocks the start of the computer?
Thanks
