Installing Ubuntu Lucid on Envy 15

I recently got a USB 3.0 equipped Envy 15 laptop with Core i7 processor and installed 64-bit version of Ubuntu Lucid on it. My experience installing and running Ubuntu Lucid on Envy 15 was good for the most part. Hardware specs for the laptop are below:

  • Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Quad Core processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz
  • 4 GB RAM
  • ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5830 Graphics
  • NEC uPD720200 USB 3.0 controller
  • BIOS ver: F.28

Installing Debian Squeeze on Envy 15

I installed Debian Squeeze on a USB 3.0 equipped Envy 15 laptop with Core i7 processor. This blog details my experience installing and running Debian Squeeze. Keep in mind Debian Squeeze is not released yet and is still changing at a good pace (I tried installing Debian Lenny just for the sake of it and graphic install fails to display anything on the screen. When I pressed ESC, it drops to text mode install but install kernel either panics or hangs. I did not spend much time on it). Hardware specs for the laptop are:

  • Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Quad Core processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz
  • 4 GB RAM
  • ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5830 Graphics
  • NEC uPD720200 USB 3.0 controller
  • BIOS ver: F.28
