Boot Isadora (Mint 9) sometimes stalled

[kurotsuki]

I have a problem on my installation on Compaq 510 (Core2Duo, GME965 Chipset, Intel GMA X1300, 1GB RAM, Broadcom BCM4312 WLAN).

A few days ago I installed Isadora LXDE. With this installation, I have a problem on booting. It's often give me a blank screen with blinking cursor on top left of the screen which will go hours when I let it that way. I have to force shutdown (by holding power button) and start it up again to retry. And I always needed to repeat this until it actually boot to login screen.

Yesterday (Tuesday actually) I install again on the same laptop. This time, I try Isadora KDE edition. That problem is still there. I always need to reboot over and over again until I got the login screen.

2 edition (LXDE and KDE) have that problem. Both edition was installed in default way (use entire HD, default boot manager) and no other OS installed (Isadora is the only one). Can anyone explain what happen to my installation of Isadora?

Note: In this edition, the WLAN cannot be used (unlike LXDE edition), so I had to use ndiswrapper to install WLAN's windows driver. Al though this seems has no connection as the problem occurs prior and post WLAN installation.

regards,
Tiar
