I have tried to install several distros and versions of linux (Ubuntu and Lubuntu, from 13 to 14.04, and Mint 17) without success. Everytime the system blocks while loading the installation.
I can only install previous versions like lubuntu 12.04). Every single time the system updates to a recent kernel the system fails to boot.
I have been searching for a long time now, and it seems that the problem is common to a lot of people but with different causes. Sometimes it's the graphic card, sometimes it's the wireless cards...
I tried to boot the system with apci and apic off, nomodeset, forcepae... No success.
This problem is on a VAIO PCG-7F1M. Intel motherboard, broadcom wifi card.
Can anyone help me to solve this please?
EDIT:I don't get error messages. The system just blocks while loading. It depends on the version I am trying to install, but sometimes it blocks while saying "Loading IRQ #9". I am almost certain that it is a kernel problem and it is related to the compatibility with the system hardware.
