Cannot Install on Emachine EZ1601
I have an emachine ez1601 all-in-one pc with XP pro installed. I boot up with Linux 9KDE and it gets past the boot screen to where it says "load" and then stops dead. I've tried several times with no luck. The same thing happens with Mepis and PCLinux. I know the Linux Mint dvd is OK because I have installed it perfectly on my old dell laptop. Would be grateful for any advice. Thanks.

In another thread I posted this
It sounds like you may have stumbled into the Kernel Modesetting (KMS) issue. It can manifest in several ways. Check this post. First try the nomodeset boot parameter outlined in the post and its links before trying the commands for specific hardware.

Re: Cannot Install on Emachine EZ1601
Hi,
I have the same machine. Couldn't install neither Ubuntu 10.04 nor the latest version of linux mint.
I had readed that there were some changes in both distributions in this forum, so I booted from a Ubuntu 9.10 CD and could install and then update with no problem except I have to disable some option in the bios related with an error on booting the first time after installing.
Everything ran smoothly after that. I imagine that you could do something similar with Linux Mint.
cheers
P.d. sorry for my english
