Any advice? Instead of hitting space, press F8. You should get a command prompt. Be sure the disc is selected at the top. At the bottom, type: -v -x followed by <Enter> If it boots, great. If it doesn't boot, read the messages on the screen to find out why. Chances are there will be a line that says "panic". Following that will be a block of lines with numbers. Right after that will be words like "backtrace". Here it will tell you what drivers are causing the problem.
