Finally.. ubuntu runs on HP 6710b
Posted by sraghav on July 10, 2007
Hey, it works…
After a weekend of tweaks and attempts, I managed to install Ubuntu on my new HP 6710b.
Its now working like a charm, but only after consuming a full weekend of troubleshooting… It did not work out of the box.. as I originally expected.
The graphics card was something neither Ubuntu, nor Fedora could handle out of the box. So, I had to install Ubuntu Feisty Fawn using their alternate CD (NOT live CD). And, then spend time configuring various things..including :
- S-ATA hard disk
- Intel X3100 graphics controller
- …
I intend to post the complete process in detail.. sometime soon.. on this blog itself.
Bear with me till then.
cheers,
raghav..
