[Linuxguy]

It startes to configure for the hardware and will Either stop here or carry on. Then my moniter starts to show little patterns going from left to right after this it will go black and just stops

Nobody gets paid for helping out here so most people tend to prefer helping when it is evident that the person who asks has tried to provide relevant information. Having to milk it again and again gets boring in the long run. So, could you tell us what hardware you are trying this on ? Does the CD work on another machine ? Have you tried some cheat codes ? (like failsafe)
