I've been trying to install CentOS 5.5-i386 on my office notebook (Compaq Evo N610c) but the installation hangs indefinitely after booting from the disc.The exact place where the installation hangs is during this particular line
Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 8 ports, IRQ sharing enabled I tried various solutions like disabling the serial ports and installing with the necessary kernel parameters but this didn't do any good.

One of the first issues I struggled with after installing CentOS 5 was that my screen would not come back to me after closing my laptop lid. Note that this is in a command line interface (not GNOME). After unsuccessful searching on the web I stumbled upon this configuration file (/etc/acpi/events/video.conf):
# Configuration to turn on DPMS again on video activity, needed for some
# laptops. Disabled by default, uncomment if your laptop display stays blank
# after you close and open the lid.

Old hp notebook (HP520) and want to install some linux distro on it to use it for basic web browsing and word processing. After a bit of research decided to begin with opensuse.
Only problem i cant seem to install it on the notebook. The dvd drive is dead and hence i wanted to install suse through a usb drive (2GB). Downloaded the appropriate live CD and used it to make a bootable usb disk as per instructions on opensuse.org. The drive boots up fine but no matter what i do i the next screen is always a black screen with a blinking underscore and nothing seems to happen. However compatibility reports indicate that suse should install hassle free and everything should work!
Already attempted text mode and safe settings installations. Nothing has worked so far. XP seems to run perfectly fine on it.
Here's the cpu-z report for the laptop if that's any help: report.txt

I'm trying to install 11.3 in a Viewsonic VNB101 notebook.I've been trying a long time now, 11.3 was still in ms6, as I recall. I tried the dd, the imagewriter, kiwi, unetbootin, Win32DiskImager and maybe something more. Lately I'm trying PXE booting, but I cant manage anything. I even gave a shoot to the new grub2 advertised feature, of booting an iso from the same machine. No luck. Maybe its time to mention that I had already successfully installed fedora and now the kubuntu 10.04, which is running ok, but its not suse. The weirdest thing is that I can have a bootable pendrive that looks fine. My other two desktop pc's, boot it and they are willing to install or run live.
I've tried the full dvd (586) version, of course after isohybrid was ran. I also tried many of the factory isos. But the one I'm obsessed with, is openSUSE-11.3-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso. All of them where definately checksumed. What the heck is going wrong with this notebook? Bios version is InsydeH20 D0.05T45.55.03, the setup utility in rev. 3.5. Cpu is Intel Atom cpu n280 A friend of mine, installed 11.3 successfully with an external dvd-rom drive, but he lives pretty far and I cant afford buying one of my own. I'm a user of OpenSuse since version 6.3. It is used as my primary OS all this time, on my desktop machines. I wont give up.

I installed openSUSE 11.4 on my notebook (Packard-Bell EasyNote LJ61) and started the system. I logged in and KDE appears. After some minutes, I started firefox and thunderbird and the computer shuts down. After resarting, I installed the fglrx driver.
After restarting again, I let the desktop stay, and let him from 16:30 oclok to 18:00. He stayed so. Then I started firefox and thunderbird and the system shuts down again....
Here my specs:
Packard Bell EasyNote LJ61
AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-64
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
openSUSE 11.4 (i586) KDE 4.6.00 release 6

I have done a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04. My HP ProBook 4520s notebook computer exhibits the following problem. I use the notebook with lid closed, connected to Samsung SyncMaster P2350 23" LCD Monitor. When Ubuntu boots it selects 1024 x 768 resolution. I then go into the display settings and notice that it is set to display the same image on both monitors. If I uncheck this setting, I see the Samsung and can make changes to the resolution settings of both laptop monitor and Samsung monitor, however, when I click Apply, the Samsung I am viewing goes blank. If I then open the laptop lid, it too is blank. After a cold reboot, I am able to get the Samsung monitor to act as a desktop estension perfectly, but not as the only monitor with the laptop screen turned off. Any attempt to turn off the laptop monitor in the settings results in no screen at all.
In the office, I have an LG 19" Flatron monitor, and Ubuntu does not exhibit the same problem. I can boot up with lid closed, and the Flatron works fine as the only monitor and at it's native resolution all by itself. Booting with lid open, and then closing the lid, also results in the Samsung going blank, but probably for the reason that there is no option in power management to DO NOTHING when the Lid is closed.
It seems that Ubuntu have forgotten about people who use their laptops as desktops in this way. I am not happy to run with the laptop open and split screens, as I cannot get the launcher into the Samsung, and everything has to be moved over all the time, is there any work around that anyone may know about?
The HP ProBook uses Intel Graphics, for which there are no particular additional drivers I am told. The problem also happened in Ubuntu 10.10, but before 10.10 I don't recall ever having this problem (from 7.04 thru 10.04)

Today i used the mini CD command-line install, got the system running at the terminal, but installing xorg or gnome and rebooting results again in fail. Tried to edit xorg.conf through nano, after sudo apt-get install but before reboot, but was fail again (couldn't open the file). I dont know exactly if its the gnome or the X the issue, because i tried at the same notebook the ubuntu 8.04, the wallpaper pops up but it freezes after, i cannot use the X. Both cd's are checksum valid originals from canonical
is there any ways to install gnome and x in the terminal, edit the xorg.conf with anything that solve the problem and reboot? update 23:11PM: I found it, its a issue with old intel graphic cards. i915.modeset=0 xforcevesa in the boot parameters and i could use the installer in the lucid live cd. but now i need to edit the grub to always boot with this parameter.

I got installed debian 6.0.1a en my compaq presario 1255 (amd-k6 with 160 Mb and 4.3 Gig), but I had to use expert install to be able to select lilo instead of grub2. I ended with a very basic system (it only uses 8Mb in console mode, and 28 Mb in fluxbox plus an xterm). It is still a very usable machine.
Previousy, I was able to install lenny 5.0.8 just with normal console mode install
I think that with lenny, the fan of the notebook (I mean the "external" one, I do not know if there is another in the micro) some times was on. but i do not think it works at any moment now with wheezy
I have been googling a couple of hours, but I am not getting a clear idea about fan and notebooks.
What have I to check? is it a module? something related to acpi?

My notebook seems to just freeze once in a while sometimes once a week, sometimes once in two weeks, sometimes once in two consecutive days. I cannot for the love of it narrow it down to anything. Granted, I have not followed the logs, but doing so for the first time gave no real results either.

Installed on my notebook ASUS X59SL Fedora 13. Once logged in, 10-15 minutes in the right half of the monitor changes color from blue to green with small ripples. That same thing happened on my Fedora 12 on kernel versions above 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686.PAE. Needless to Fedora 13 work under this kernel.

I've a desktop with Xubuntu 9.04 (wired) and a notebook with Ubuntu 9.10 (wireless), both with Samba installed. The Xubuntu one is a samba-server for a windows network (other pc at home). I don't know what to do to see the Ubuntu notebook with the server... I'm think that adding some lines at the smb.conf would solve this problem but I really don't know...

I have an old notebook computer the specs are as follow.
Intel Celeron 2.8Ghz
1.5GB RAM
40 GB HDD
1TB External USB HDD
The computer will constantly be running in my cupboard 24/7. Using it for movies, videos and pictures. Just a home file server so I can I backup all my digital items. What version of Ubuntu should I be using? Server or Desktop? Right now I'm using Windows XP Professional at the moment but I'd rather use Ubuntu personally.

The problem is: CTRL-ALT-F1 etc does not give me the login consoles and i strongly suspect it has something to do with the notebook display adapter (a problem on its own, but in this case it seems to be the INTEL GMA).After pressing the key combo, the HD is working on something, but all I get is a frozen picture of my current (tty7) Desktop. After hitting CTRL+ALT-F7 it blacks out for a moment, comes back to normal gnome Desktop as if nothing happened.I tried setting different vga modes in grub (according to my research, this also sets tty consoles modes ?) with no luck.The output of 'hwinfo --framebuffer' is as follows (if it's of any help):
Code:
02: None 00.0: 11001 VESA Framebuffer
[Created at bios.464]
Unique ID: rdCR.7IS+B23HFDE
Hardware Class: framebuffer
[code]....
