Laptop install issue

[Chong Yu Meng]

I had problems installing on my Thinkpad R40, but not at the point of 
partitioning. It could be the same problem, though. Does your laptop use 
the Intel chipset ? If so, try this when you first boot your laptop and 
get to the initial screen with the boot prompt:

linux allowcddma
