Hi,

I wanted to test Ubuntu on a older computer with following hardware:

CPU: Intel Celeron 434 MHz
mainboard with SIS 5513 chipset
10G Fujitsu harddrive
64 MB of RAM
C-Media audio controller (CM738)

The Ubuntu-CD boots and I can choose LANG- and LOCALE-settings. When CD
scans for hardware it stops at a point and I can only see the blue
background (just like a classic BSOD ...). Nothing more happens (I
waited for nearly an hour). I tried some bootparameters. However all
combinatons I tried led to the blue screen. Do you have any idea what
could the reason for this?

Thanks
