Did you already do the actual installation to the hard drive and are having problems booting into it?
Or, are you having problems booting the computer with the "live" DVD/USB?
Sounds like you already installed, but can't boot into it. If that is the case, boot again with your live DVD/USB and open a terminal window. Enter the following three commands one-at-a-time (hit ENTER after each one).
(Last command ends in a lowercase letter "L", not the number 1.)
Follow directions on this post to copy entire terminal output and paste it back here to the forum within "Code blocks" so we can read it easily.
Also, can you describe in a little more detail exactly what is happening? Does it boot straight to a black screen, or does the black screen happen after entering your password to login? Is LL now the only OS on the computer, or are you dual-booting with Win 7?
