Hello

 

I've been trying to install a fair few different Linux distros on a 20gb partition. Why do I get so many errors with it? I have a Dell Inspiron 530 with these specs:

320gb HDD

2gb ram

Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 2.4ghz

Vista Home Premium SP1

 

Well, when I try to install Ubuntu I get an error in the Linux shell that says:

(initramfs)_

 

When I try to install Fedora core 5 or 6, it can't find the driver for something, but it won't say what for.

 

When I try to install SUSE 10.1, it can't mount the cd drive

 

When I try to install Vector Linux SOHO 5.8, it can do all that, but it can't find any linux partitions even when I have them.

 

The ONLY distro that I can get to work is Kubuntu 7, nothing else. And I don't really like Kubuntu. I have to boot into that after partitioning the HDD in Vista to format the partition into a Linux partition (eg. ext2 for Vector Linux). But when the partition is already made, I just get a screen of errors while Kubuntu is loading saying that there's an error with a logical drive. I forget exactly what it said.

 

So could somebody please help me or at least tell me why nothing works on my computer? I'd like Ubuntu or Vector Linux installed most but they won't work. I'm thinking that maybe to get VL to work then I should install Kubuntu so VL should be able to recognize it and wipe over it.

 

All replies are appreciated :)
