[10:28] <badger> anyone here? i have a question about installing ubuntu
[10:29] <Burgundavia> badger: yes, but this is not a support list
[10:29] <Burgundavia> channel, really
[10:30] <nixternal> dito
[10:33] <badger> ok i have a comp with no OS.  I put in ubuntu desktop boot disk. hit install. it said loading drivers for a couple minutes...now it just sits at a black screen with flashing prompt.  What am i suppose to do?
[10:33] <Burgundavia> hmm
[10:35] <Plug> Reboot and try adding 'acpi=off' or 'noapic' to the kernel command line?
[10:35] <Plug> #ubuntu may be able to help you more
[11:03] <badger> ok acpi=off made it get further into installation.  then the monitor says invalid pc mode.  what is this?
