Bug Description
My HP Pavilion n5470 laptop (info below) behaves oddly when I attempt to boot the Dapper Live CD. When I attempt to boot from powerup, it freezes between "Configuring X" and "Preparing restricted drivers". When, however, I boot up Windows (Win2k Professional, SP 4) first then insert the Live CD then "restart" -- the Live CD boots up just fine. (FWIW, Knoppix Live dvd 4.0.2 boots just fine every time)
This behavior is reproducible.
I'd love to installer Dapper on this machine but I'm reluctant to do so ... for obvious reasons
Thanks for help.
