Installing Lucid Lynx

Desktop - GeForce 8800 GTS & ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe

My experience installing Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04 Beta II) Desktop(64) on a ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe mother board and a (single) GeForce 8800 GTS video card.

The current computer has WinXP(32) and WinXP(64) installed (dual boot) so the LucidLynx install will be a "trice" boot.

Burned the Lucid iso, popped it into the machine, restarted and...

Install problem (GeForce driver problem)

• Machine when't strait to running a live session (which was unexpected, maybe a Beta bug) and then hung on the Ubuntu logo
• Rebooted (hit the reset button on front of computer)
• At the first ubuntu image i hit the up arrow on the key board which brought up a menu
• Selected 'Install' from the Ubuntu menu and hit 'enter'.
• Machine started to load and then hung again on the Ubuntu logo
• Rebooted (hit the reset button on front of computer)
• At the Ubuntu menu cursored down to 'install' after that hit F6 which brought up another menu, hit escape (to close that menu) and then removed quiet splash-- from the command string just above the F-options.
• Hit 'enter' to continue the install

Install when't fine after that.

Cant get to desktop, video driver problem
