The install CD first displays "error: prefix is not set", then grub gives me the choice of "Start Kubuntu" or "Check disc for defects" Regardless of which selection I choose, the screen goes blank, and eventually the monitor reports "No signal". Despite this, I believe the system is booting because I can hear and see CD drive activity. If I select "Check disc for defects" the drive remains active for quite some time, confirming my suspicions. The problem is that the video never comes back after the initial grub screen. The behavior is the same with 11.10, however 10.04 LTS does boot, successfully and install completely. The problem with 10.04 LTS is that the video is only 1280x1024 on a 1920x1080 monitor, and eth0 is recognized and sends DHCP requests, but never receives the responses from the router. I know the LAN interface works with Windows 7 in the remaining partition on the disk. I also tried installing from a USB stick and got the same results as with install CDs. Anyone know what kind of grub/kernel boot parameters I can used to get a video display to continue a 11.04 or 11.10 install?

I assume the CPU itself is x86_64 compatible, but was wondering about the graphics compatibility. I didn't see anything from Google to give me a clue. Anyone have experience with this processor? Any caveats?
