Hello,
On an Acer Aspire Centrino laptop, when I want to install either Linux Debian or Ubuntu (Debian-based), the computer freezes after "Uncompressing Linux ........ Ok, booting the kernel".
Sometimes, not always, after the computer freezes a list of "FATAL modprobe xxxxxx" messages prints continuously on the screen, telling that some files are missing.
The Ubuntu live CD doesn't work either. Notice that the original ubuntu CDs that I have installs / boot correctly on a desktop. Let's try RH9 then ... (I still have the install CDs).
Some Linux distributions like Ubuntu seem to be a compromise between big
linux
and scratch linux but last time I tried Ubuntu I couldn't get correct low latency audio on it, hence I re-installed RH9. Did these medium-size distributions improve recently ?
There are also some "multimedia" linux like Agnula that I don't know
anything
about.
I'd try AGNULA/Demudi then (*not* A/Rehmudi, which is as dead as jMax). It's very nice and already optimized for audio work.
Ubuntu is nice, too, but to really get low latency going you need to invest a bit of time. However you could install the A/Demudi kernel on a Ubuntu system to shorten this path.
Ciao
