Hello Everyone:

I've tried a bunch of distros on my ThinkPad i1465, but all of my installation attempts have failed. Debian came back with a weird error message and Fedora and Ubuntu both hang. Could it be that my hard drive has a partition on it (left over from XP), that I couldn't get rid of when I erased everything off of it? What else could it be? What forums should I go to for more help?

Thanks!

One thing I found with my pc was I needed to set acpi=off during installation and booting. For Ubuntu > 5.04. Once I fooled with the install startup settings, all was fine. I had no trouble with my laptop though.
