Ubuntu Intrepid beta iso from main ubuntu donwload page.

Cannot install Intrepid, or Hardy for that matter.

Managed to install Intrepid through Wubi from Vista.

On bootup, the uspalsh screen stops after about 5-10%ish. I tried the ACPI problem boot option and the bootup halted at SATA drive detection.

I am using a Compaq Presario CQ50-110EM laptop and I have seen others with this problem, which has now regressed into Intrepid.

I am guessing that HP/Compaq have implemented some form of protection against installing any linux distro as I have tried others and tried several versions of *buntu.

I am unsure how to grab a log of the bootup for problem solving, but am an avid Ubuntu user and want to see it working on this laptop.

Thanks guys
