Hi All,

I am facing weired problem while installing Ubuntu 8.04 on my desktop
specification of it
Intel Core 2 duo 2.93
4 GB RAM
500 GB HDD
Intel Motherboard DG41 RQ

it goes on loading ubuntu and then after when i am suppose to get my home screen with bird background to view, monitor stops getting signal.
i tried both 32 bit and 64 bit
ubuntu-8.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
ubuntu-8.04.3-desktop-i386.iso

but no luck where as 9.10 works like a charm and i have no issue in working with it.

but because of some external H/W drievrs i need to stick to old karnel version which supports 2.6.30 or lower

please guide what to do?

Which Graphics Card do you have?
Try Alternate Installation .iso image. It has Text based installer and works fine in most of the machine.
