Trying kubuntu 710 386 halts at:

BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7)
Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands
(initramfs)_

It probably doesn't like my Blueray/DVD burner? I'm gonna try swapping it with this boxes DVD burner and see if that works.

I only intend to use this as a box for under my TV for media mostly. Maybe a little home automation later.
I wanna rip my DVD to my drive, play them, and use a TV tuner, and rip and play my music.
I don't intend it to work with any other TVs or computers (my house is small). What kind of server setup should I use?

Yeah I thought of that also. It fails at the same spot. Maybe a 386 version of 710? I'll try that.

I'm not a complete linux noob, I've installed and tried several flavors over 10 or 20 years but I've always had to crawl back to Winderz because that's where my apps are.

So I have an AMD 64x2 but I need the 32 bit 386 version of Kubuntu anyways?

I best wait for the beta.

I downloaded the CDs 1 & 2 and Kubuntu.
Trying to install Kubuntu 7.10.

I can select "Start or install Kubuntu". It shows Loading Kernal progress bar completes, and then my tv shows "no input signal"

I so wanted to install MCE.

I thought it was a bad DVD so I downloaded the CD and Kubuntu and get the same results.

Help? (( (sniffle sniffle)

AMD X250
Asus M3N78-VM
4 Gigs
Seagate 1.5tb
Nvidia 9400 (1 DVI, 1 VGA, and 1 HDMI port)
LG BlueRay Sata Rom/DVD burner

I'm hooked up to the HDMI port out to my TV

My Mobo does have it's own DIV and HDMI out as well.
