Urgent! HELP! Problem instaling Linux on a Hp Laptop with a AMD TL-56 Processor.
Hello,
I have been trying to install for several months now Linux distros like Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Suse on my new HP laptop that uses a AMD turion TL-56 processor. From what I have gathered though extensive research is that there is an incompatibility issue with the Linux kernel. When I try to install Ubuntu or Kubunto it tries to go to the live cd feature but somewhere along the way it freezes… Has anyone successfully installed Linux on a dual core AMD laptop? How can I do this?? How can I get around this? Help! It’s driving me mad! My laptop is a : Hp Dv6356EU Processor Information: Vendor: AuthenticAMD Speed: 1809 Mhz 2 logical processors 2 physical processors HyperThreading: Unsupported RDTSC: Supported CMOV: Supported FCMOV: Supported SSE: Supported SSE2: Supported 3DNOW: Supported RAM: 1024 Mb Miscellaneous: Microphone: Not set Media Type: DVD Total Hard Disk Space Available: 152625 Mb (SATA) Thanks Alex |
32 or 64 bit

I've tried installing both the 32bit and the 64bit versions but it just wont install... I cant identify the error because it just freezes the installation and it's not after loading a specific it looks like its random if use the cd on 2 other AMD64 pc's that i have at home but they are not dual core they are single core and it works fine so I assume that it is the fact of my laptop having a dual core processor is what is causing the problem... Is there a solution to this????
thanks Alex P.S. Quote:

Live CD
Are you installing from the live cd's or are you installing from the command prompt?
