Hello,
I am trying to boot a live Kubuntu 8.04 ( KDE 3 as well as 4 ) CD into the Aspire One with XP Home pre-loaded but the boot stops at an initramfs prompt.
There is an external HDD adapter that is plugged into the brand new Moser Bayer IDE DVD R/W and this combination was able to read media in Debian Etch's desktop, just like plugging in a pen drive.
In the AAO, on hitting F12, the third option is the USB DVD drive and I get the initial boot options. After selecting the default live option, the boot process moves up to the initial part and then stops at the initramfs prompt. I believe this is due to some driver issue.
Has anyone installed Kubuntu 8.04 on this netbook? The sites on google mostly mention Ubuntu 8.10 for this netbook so I will be downloading the Kubuntu 8.10 ISO. However what are other user experiences on this list?
