Hi
Before I advise my friend to install another dist. I wondered if it was something that I had done.
The problem
Created a DVD and checked the hash keys
Booting from DVD drive to install upgrade does not work it stops at various stages like 3, 45, 67% etc
So try installation, after many failed installations get to 100% and system reboots. Then the login prompt is locked so not possible to go any further
Any thoughts?
Most the time it is a Video issue so without knowing anything about the hardware I could not possible help.
