I'm heartened by the support - the main reason I'm sticking with Ubuntu. I did try checking the CD for errors on each occasion: it checked it as ok once but on another occasion it went into text mode, ending up with a line on Bluetooth. Actually, it has ended up on that line on a few occasions. I hope to have time to get back to it over the weekend. Thanks, Tom.

Also, there is an option to check the Ubuntu CD for errors on the CD's boot menu. A friend of mine has a similar HP Pavilion, try booting yours with “noapic pci=routeirq”.

You can try to boot it with "noapic" or acpi_os_name="Windows 2006" When I dont do this I get past the boot options menu, but then the screen stays black and it hangs.
