Could not install Ubuntu 8.10 or 8.04 on my IBM Thinkpad A21p Laptop. The screen appears in three segments, I cannot see which options to select, or see how to fix this. My screen has a 1600x 1200 resolution. I also tried Centos 5.2, but this has the same problem. Even worse, I overwrote Windows 2000 and could not install Windows XP SP2 as it hung halfway through "installing drivers" with 35 minutes still to go!

If there is a solution to this , I would certainly like to see a speedy fix.

I have updated the thinkpad BIOS to 1.11 (The latest version).

The screen fills with messages like:
