    Hey guys, I just got a Thinkpad T61p and I want to install Ubuntu, however when I try to boot to the CD, I get an error saying that it can't allocate memory to run the Live CD.

    How do I fix this issue and are there any other quirks I may run into?

    Thanks.

    Do you have the exact error message?
