I installed Frodo 12.2 on it... but it will not start.
Any suggestions? I'll get the install logo just fine, run through the installer, reboot, get the XBMC logo- then RIGHT after the logo disappears (and the mouse becomes active) it freezes. Soft-reset doesn't work, and a hard reset is needed.
I had an earlier install of 12.0 on the machine and it froze at the initializing display; but that might have been the intel-amd release instead of the intel-nvidia.
Thanks much

Well, I got it to work... but I could NOT install any version of 12.0. I couldn't install 12.0 and update- I had to go clear back to 11.0, boot into XBMC, exit, goto the package manager, do a refresh and install all upgradeable packages... and then reboot... and it worked.
