[ubuntu-za] Installation problems

[Dave Lizamore]

Hi guys,

I have just replaced my pc with an Intel Core i3 540 3.07 GHz CPU  and 
an Intel DH55TC MB, a 500GB Seagate baracuda HD, 2x2 GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM 
with on board sound and video enabled. I used to run both Ubuntu 8 and 
Mint 9 on my previous system (intel dual core 2.6GHz CPU on a Foxcon MB 
with a NVDIA video card, but cannot install either on my new pc. Ubuntu 
loads the kernel and then bombs out to the busybox command line, while 
Mint would not even boot from the CD and default back to windows. I have 
updated the bios as well as the video driver from Intel's website, but 
it does not make a difference.

I would appreciate any suggestion as I had no luck with either ubuntu's 
or Mint's web forums.

Thanks

Dave
