Let's see - you're running a Dell and the second photo is out of focus....
It's worse than that. It's a Dell monitor on a custom built machine by someone who does not know what they are doing (me). Would a more focused picture help?
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
No worries, just keeping helping ;)
I'm wondering if is has something to do with the PAE kernel vs. your machine. Can you elaborate on that at all?
Not sure what to do here. I am at hobbyist skill level.
With your question, I tried using the regular (non-PAE) kernel. The system halted after udev [ok] and no other on-screen information.
Thank anyhow!
