I have a Compaq Evo 1000v and eLive will boot fine until you get to where you choose your graphics options. None of the drivers for eLive work with this laptop. Some Support for this Model would be great.
Also:
I have a Dell Insprion 531s...
This system has the wierdest hardware configuration of any system i have ever seen, and i am proud to say, eLive works Great on it... ahhh... so much better than Vist- opps... don't want to say that bad name now do we?
