Cannot start livecd

Hi,

Recently I tried the dev version 1.5 of Elive on my Aspire 7520 laptop, to my it was the first Linux distro that actually recognized the geforce 7000m and got 1440x900 resolution! I got enthousiastic and went and bought the stable version, but alas, it will not even load
I tried no acpi, failsafe and even the option noapic (whatever that means) but all result it not loading
To make sure the CD is ok I tested it on anothe computer where it works flawlessly (this thread is made while running the livecd).
Can anyone please help me? I'd love to get Elive 1.0 Gem running on the laptop it looks so great!

Kind regards,

Rene

I had the same issue with 1.0. I have an hp with nvidia 6150 video. Try selecting the vesa option for the video. I don't know what to try if you cannot get that far. Good luck.

Oh, and I know that the new 1.5 will not install, but it looks wonderful - even better than 1.0. Take a look at it.

Also, try gOS. It is similiar and also very nice.

Thank you for the info, I will try.
1.5 looks awsome indeed, that is what made me decide to pay for 1.0 stable :/
Anyhow, will give it another go with vesa.

I have progressed to the $ prompt. What commands are needed for livecd review. After I resolve that issue, will there be an install feature loaded?
