				Linux and ThinkPad
			 
 Hi all,my experiance with Linux systems has been rather limited so I have gotten myself into slight trouble.
 
 The senario is that I found an old IBM ThinkPad iSeries 1171, this baby isn't on par with the latest bloatware from Microsoft so I decided to try out (for real this time) the Linux world.  I happened to have a Kubuntu install cd (ver. 6 something). The install went well but I'm not happy with Kubuntu so I decied to "upgrade" to Ubuntu since I had played slightly with that before.  The problem is that I'm unable to start the Ubuntu (9.04 desktop).  What I get after selecting "Innstall" from the menu is "Kernel panic  -- attempt to kill init".
 If anyone could point me in the right direction so I can find what parameters I have to set to get the install working.
 
 Yours
 ZB
