Comment 12 for bug 416772

 I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THIS ONE BUT HERE GOES:

WHEN I BOOT AN UBUNTU 9.04 OR 9.10 DISK ALL I GET IS CROSS HATCHING ON MY MONITOR. NO
INTELLIGIBLE INFORMATION. AND SO NO INSTALL. HOW EVER WHEN I TRY TO BOOT LINUX MINT 7
IT'S NICE ENOUGH TO ALLOW HARDWARE DETECTION. IT GOES ON FROM THERE TO THE LIVE CD DESKTOP.

I HAVE GIVEN UP ON UBUNTU BECAUSE OF THIS "PROBLEM". NO USABLE DESKTOP=NO USABLE OS...

HOW DO I "TRICK" UBUNTU INTO DOING A HARDWARE DETECTION INSTALL? NOW, SOMETHING EASY!
I DON'T WANT TO JUMP THROUGH A LOT OF COMMAND LINE HOOPS!
MY MACHINE IS OF VERY RECENT MANUFACTURE. HAS A AMD 5050E DUAL CORE CPU. DDR2 800 MEMORY AND SO ON.
