Hey folks! Another newbie here ... just trying to learn Linux ...
So I thought I'd get a look at 3.8 but boot process halts after detecting USB devices and dumps me to a limited shell:
Went through standard precautions: downloaded ISO, checked MD5 sums, burn CD from ISO image at 8X (test & record).
Then booted up 3.8.1 on a Dell Optiplex at school w/ no cheatcodes and no problems.
But with my own pc, I get above problem. I tried failsafe but no good either!
System: Athlon 64 3000 on MSI Neo2 Platinum w/ SATA DVD drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
