Ok, well, i am trying to install linux on my computer (duh), an HP a.1009 2.8GHZ 512Meg RAM currently running Windows XP SP2 and i cant find a version that works. I have tried Knoppix 3.9, openSUSE (the newest version), MandrakeLinux 10.1, CollegeLinux and Debian 3.9. It starts to load the kernel, and when it gets to about 99%, the computer restarts. Is there anything anyone can do to help?
