Dear Ubuntu-Team,
I have quite a new Acer Travelmate 8104 Laptop. When I want to run the Live/Install-DVD in any 
modus (live, server, linux, expert) the in order to install the system, it won't commence after 
the third line which sounds appr like: 'unpacking kernel...'. I tried the 'vga=771' and 'hw-
detect/start_pcmcia=false' options. Without success.
Experience with other linuxes on this Computer are: I tried to install debian (sarge-stable) 
before, which could not set up my TFT 1680x1050 display. Right now I have Fedora Core 4 
installed but I it crashes whenever the pcmcia is loaded. I can only make the FC4 system start 
by manually deactivating it on every startup. Kernel options 'nopcmcia' and 'hw-detect/
start_pcmcia=false' won't help. Additionally the X-server doesn't recognise my ATI Radeon 
Mobility X700 and I can choose 1400x1050 as the maximum resolution.
