I don't have the same laptop so all I can suggest is try the different |
2 |
kernel options that you have when booting. Thins like disabling |
3 |
fblash, usb, pcmcia, and so on (don't quote me on the syntax I think |
4 |
you can hit type help at the boot screen to see what your option are. |
5 |
That is if you are even getting to the screen with the different |
6 |
kernel options. |
7 |
|
8 |
The only other option I have is to maybe look at other booting methods |
9 |
depending on whats availble for your laptop. Thins like boot off a |
10 |
usb stick or try knoppix and install from the knoppix disc. |

Sorry I can't be of more help. |
