Installing ubuntu on a older system (Pentium Celeron 430 MHz)

[Loptr Chaote]

Hello Jens!

Do you have any extra cards in the computer? Is the soundcard removable?
I would suggest stripping it down to a minimum hardware configuration
and then try again. Maybe some wierd PCI/ISA-card locks up the probing
process.
