    It's probably a video card issue. You can install Ubuntu with an alternate installer in text mode, which will allow you to install and then you can try to get the video problem sorted out afterwards.

    Is your machine 64 bit capable? I think it might be, but that's just a guess.

    Is that from the text installer?

    Much appreciated brother!
    That looks useful to know, I guess ACPI is the root cause here.

    thnkx guys, as much as i respect the help u guys hv given me .. i am completely at a loss as to operational aspects of linus nd the various codes nd commands .. i jus started using linux in nov 20-10 .. that too got a pal to help me out .. .. a guide for dummies wud be better i think ..



    @Tbob : no the screenshot is not from the text installer ... it pops out everytime i try to boot from the ubuntu cd //// first i get a purple screen .. at bottom is da figure of a man or something .. nd before ubuntu starts screen goes blank nd the screenshot appears .. i cant mk head or tails of what it means or signifies ..

    the toshiba has an AMD athlon II P320 dualcore processor .. i dont know if it can handle amd64 software //
