[SOLVED] (Arch)Linux and Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 ??

hey everybody,

i just bought a new pc, a core 2 quad Q8200 and i have problems to get it work - even with other distros. I instert the install discs, i get the first screen where i can select Boot Live CD blabla, then i just see its unpacking the kernel and after that i just get cryptic errors. then it stops.

On arch i tried the ftp-i686 and ftp-x86_64 isos, both with the same result. i even tried other distributions. GRML: the same. Debian Installer: the same again. (just that the screen stays black on the other dirstros and i see nothing else).

could anyboy help me, please ? i think i used the correct isos, didnt i?

greets chris
