I tried a Live CD of Gentoo Linux recently and it worked perfectly. I haven't been able to master the install process yet but just knowing that it is possible to have Linux on my system means a lot to me. Any way...I wanted to know why Gentoo was able to load onto my box while everyone else kept hanging. I did a little research and found something about the noapci command keeping computers from hanging on installations. Could this be what's stopping me? Is there a way to enter this command in a Ubuntu installation so I can test it out? I'd also like know if anyone can tell me why my computer keeps locking up when I trade out hard drives with different OS on them? After I fail with Linux I usually just switch out the hard drive with another one that contains a copy of Windows XP on it. Everything is powered off before I attempt this but for some reason my computer acts like it remembers I had Ubuntu on it previously and begins to lock up while booting up Windows XP. Any suggestions?
