Thanks but I am not very competent with programming.
How should I insert "jiffies" ? Write it on the line down the screen
after making F6 ?

I have put in french my problem (not solved) on the french Ubuntu forum
(FAQ) saying :

I have installed without any problem Ubuntu 7.04 on my desk computer ACER.

With 7.10 or 8.04 or 8.10 : impossible. Even the choice "check the CD"
makes a black screen.
With 8.04 or 8.1, making twice F6 and acpi=off, I can run on the live
CD, and when I decide "Install it", it runs, and makes so far partition
of the disk. Then the programm asks : make restart and then I have on
the screen : "starting up..." and black screen with blinking dash, and
keyboard or mouse are out of work.

When I do it again making "escape" and safe starting, then it runs
writing many lines and stop after the line :

[ 22.637118] io scheduler cfq registered (default)

Thanks if you can further help me
