Another problem with booting the live cd

Post by FoolOnTheHill »

Hey guys..

Heres what..
I Installed mint with the live cd on my laptop with no problem..
As I found it AWSOME (had already tried ubuntu some time ago, and there was lots of stuff that didn't work) i moved on to install it on my desktop.

Now heres the problem.. i get past the boot menu and then eventually it gives me a blue screen saying that the server had restarted over 6 times. Then there is a times for 30 seconds i think. it starts working again and comes back to the bluescreen with the same problem... I tryed everything here, not working.. some options go to the bluescreen, others go to the prompt and when i type "modprobe piix" it says it doesnt exist.

Can anyone help me? Thank you...

I checked ASUS and this is not exactly their best motherboard has SIS chipset
SIS 671FX+SIS 968 and SIS Mirage 3 Integrated Graphics
Also try any of the following or any combination of them
noapic
nolapic
noacpi
acpi=off

I tried all those options.. those are on wiki...

That means it wont work? ubuntu works.. but even with all the latest updates it is not as good as mint, is it?

I finally had success last night by deleting "quietsplash --" and inserting "nosplash noapic nolapic break=button"

@ mcurtiss1970
I hope you can see that the statement "I finally had success" is ambiguous when you are not the person that started the topic....
Try to register again - if you don't succeed send a mail to root at linuxmint dot com and explain the situation
