I have a really old laptop that was running windows 98.
I took this apart and installed a 40gb hard drive to replace its 6gb ready for a fresh UBUNTU install.
When i went to install Ubuntu 8 it hangs forever on this screen...
'[ 0.000000] ACPI: DMI BIOS year==0, assuming ACPI-capable machine
I have searched this problem and tried adding ACPI=off at the end of the boot options but no luck, instead it will just go to a blank screen.
I tried booting up another live cd i own called mini-PE... It got to the desktop but returned an error about the isaac.exe really quickly then restarted?
I think it might be a RAM problem but as far as i know this laptop has soldered RAM..
Is this the end of my old laptop? I would really like to have a little unix machine running !
