New ubuntu install freezes on boot on IBM T21 laptop

[Alex Maynard]

Hi All:

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on a problem I've been having
with IBM T21 laptop?

I installed a new kubuntu disk on my laptop. At first it worked well. But
about a day later it started going blank halfway through reboot and kept
doing this.  So essentially I couldn't boot from the hard drive.

Later I reinstalled ubuntu and the same thing happened.  I used
to have the same laptop working using libranet but they went out of
business and my CDs from them are too far out of date to update without
dependency problems.

The only thing I can think of to do now is to try a differerent
distribution (any suggestions?), but I thought I would run this by
you to see what other suggestions you might have.

Alex
