well i downloaded kalyway from.....(can't say)

 

i burned it to a dvd+r DL with active@ iso burner

 

i rebooted my computer with the cd in there and came up as ussaul i pressed F8 and typed in -v but it wouldn't work

 

here is my computer specs

 

HP Pavilion a1610n

Processer

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core

Processer 4200+ for TRUE multi-tasking

Graphics

NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE

Memory

1024MB(1 GB)

HD

250 GB

Optical Drive

SuperMulti DVD Burner with LightScribe Technology

 

MMX(+), 3DNow(+), SSE 1,SSE 2, SSE 3,

 

when i reboot the computer on the boot menu it says V.3.07

 

i tried it again and it came to the purple space wallpaper and nothing else just the black pointer and space wallpaper no windows pop up

 

any ideas why its failing?

 

EDIT:

I checked it the Kalyway dvd i have will work with AMD processers and Intelland i did partition the drive Fat32 and named it Leopard.

Try a more AMD friendly distro such as Leo4All.

 

You didn't mention what motherboard you have but if it has an nForce chipset, this is the place to go for information:

Here's an older guide but maybe there's something you can use:

And a guide for a HP laptop with nForce chipset:
