Comment 7 for bug 513528

@Tom: So, the last Ubuntu that installed clean on this Compaq Armada 7730MT was 8.04(!?!). All later versions exhibit problems similar to this original bug report.

Installing Ubuntu 8.04 and upgrading through 10.04 took 3 days, but it ran happily enuf. However, *only* kernel 2.6.28-18 booted properly. All subsequent kernels spewed with errors above my pay grade :(

Sadly, I've decided to abandon ongoing efforts in spite of my habit of squeezing blood from the technology turnips.

I've installed a more chronologically compatible Win2k and donated it to a starving student for another few years of service.

Thanks,
