My old Slackware box died on me a while ago and I decided to throw another box together out of spare parts I had lying around. The mobo, psu, and cpu are from a 2005 HP Pavilion. I got everything cleaned up and connected and set it to boot the optical drive first, but I dropped the Slackware disc in the drive and just got a black screen when I booted. Underscore cursor blinking in the top left corner for about 3 minutes and not a peep from the cdrom. Tried it with two other optical drives and still nothing. Is it not possible to install Linux with this OEM motherboard?
