Kubuntu 9.04 won't load

It helps only a little, I'll see if I can dig up an external card but it's not that old of a motherboard, it's the same series we put in your tower at home.

Now here's a fun one for you. I had to use a PCI card since I can't use a PCI-e card because I don't have any to spare. Now the computer hated the PCI video cards totally and showed no video. However, now try to figure this out. I grabbed an old Monster 3D II video excellerator out of my ancient artifacts bin that Indiana Jones left me and ran the onboard video through it and it worked! I have no idea why it should work on a device not supported on anything later than Windows 98.

That's interesting, considering that's not the computer using Ubuntu right now.

I've got 4 GB on my Dell Laptop and it seems to work fine. I'll ask there to see if it's the ram causing the problem. Maybe you got an incomplete installer? Happens to me occasionally.

I'm in the process of downloading a Kubuntu ISO, then I'll try and find another hard drive I can use to test this problem. But seeing how I'm not at home, I can't test it out there.

I'll ask them and give them the new information you've just given me. But I'm not sure how much their new information will be helpful.
