Empire EFI and laptop
 
So I have a Dell Studio Core 2 Duo T5750 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 sereis and PM965 intel chipset. I have been trying various distros to boot, but they all go to boot1: /boot, or cdboot: done and don't move from there. I don't get any farther than that, no vader, no command line, nothing. Can anyone give me an idea what the problem is and how to fix it?

It goes Dell logo...CD tries to load up, CDboot: done freeze

Use the USB install method; CDs wouldn't work for me either.

I tried, but this is what I get from Empire EFI:
cdboot: init
cdboot: filesize: 0004C8C0
cdboot: reading sectors: 0000009A
cdboot: loading...............
cdboot: done

and I get something similar with a USB

Yesh, that was the default setting when I went to change it. Nothing is wrong with the CD because it works on my roommats laptop.
