My hardware is sufficient:  8GB HDD, 320MB RAM.

After I hit enter at the boot, it says:
loading vmlinux.................
loading initrd.img................
booting.

Then it goes to the blank screen.  Ctl-Alt-F? for all ? doesn't do
anything.  In fact, nothing does anything except Ctrl-Alt-Del.  But if I
push enough keys, the computer starts clicking.  I have no idea what's
going on.

Cheers!
