IBM HS21 cant run UBUNTU 7.10 and UBUNTU 8.0

[Shuai Yu]

Hello

I am not familiar with your IBM machine, but I use opensuse 10.3 and
ubuntu 8.04. I feel comfortable with suse especially yast2. It makes the
setup pretty easy (IMO its better than ubuntu). Anyway, different
people has different tastes. So what video card you have there? if suse
works for you that means it could configure your video card properly
which probably ubuntu could not do. Have you tried ubuntu live cd? 

we need more inform in order to help you.
