I just recently return home from active duty and bought a Presario F700. I tried to install Ubuntu 7.10 on it, but the live CD does not boot correctly. I tried other older distros that I had laying around the house before I left. None of them worked except for DSL and Slax-I was kind of surprised. After some research, I found that this laptop has ACPI problems with linux. I'm not the only one who has problem with Linux on this laptop.
<br><br>I even try to boot with noacpi and acpi off but it still does not boot correctly. Single user and failsafe mode does not boot also. I am very confused. I can install Ubuntu with the Alt installer, but I can not log in, text or GUI mode.
<br><br>any help? (I got home 3 days after the install fest :-/)<br>
