Re: [SOLVED] Ubuntu install freezes after "ACPI PCC probe failed" msg.

Ok, a bit of good news.
He tried the live version with the noacpi option, and it worked!

But then he sent me this picture:

I guess it's the nvidia card acting up?
In any case, at least now it shows something.

So what's the next step?

For NVIDIA cards, one of these two parameters may be needed:

nomodeset

nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0

Re: [SOLVED] Ubuntu install freezes after "ACPI PCC probe failed" msg.

Ok, I just talked with my coworker, and somehow he got Ubuntu up and running.

I can't be sure what he did, because he doesn't know. He just started tinkering with it. All he can remember is he got a message saying there was a conflict between three drivers: two proprietary nvidia ones and a generic one. He chose to run one of the proprietary drivers, and everything started running perfectly.

And he's already showing the first symptoms of the "Linux fan syndrome".  ]:D  ]:D  ]:D

So thank you both for all the help. I know I don't always follow instructions as carefully as I should, but I want you to know your help is greatly appreciated.
