I have Dell Xps 15 with config:-
8 Gb RAM
2nd generation i7 processor 2.2 GHz Boost 2.0 upto 3.30 GHz
Dual Graphics Card Intel HD 3000 & nvidia geforce GT 540M with Optimus Techonology
720 GB hardisk
Motherboard Dell XPS system L502X
Intel centrino 6230 Network Card with BT 3.0
I have installed 2 linux distro on my External USB portable seagate 500 GB hardisk fedora 15 & Ubuntu 11.04. i have installed these distro by using HP pavilion dv 2762 tx with config:-
Core2duo 1.83Ghz
2Gb ram
nvidia geforce 9600m graphics card
Both these distro works with all other older laptops Like HP, Dell studio 1 yr old config , Compaq 5 yr old, but not on my Dell XPS 15.
To check my laptops hardware compatibility i used a Ubuntu 10.10 live Cd. it works fine . i use this cd as a live media but when i tried same Ubuntu 10.10 on live usb it gives blank screen or error which i mentioned below.
To check that my iso file damaged or my download has been corrupted or not, i tried different distros with different desktop enviornment like Gnome,KDE,Xcfe & Lxde. i tried fedora 15, ubuntu 10.10, ubuntu 10.04, ubuntu 11.04. slackware,eduboss each with avail flavors.
But all i have tried gives almost same error with each distro. i don't know what is this some kind of bug or lack of support with dell chipset (hardware). if live cd boots well then i think there is nohardware compatibility issue with linux. I think this is lack of usb support because may be Linux has no support until now for latest motherboards or hardware architects.
These are the errors i got with different distros. i am not able to figure out what's going on bcz i'm rookie in Linux programming. But if anyone can do it, plz help me i haven't run my linux from previous 1 and half month and i'm a linux addicted.
starting from Fedora 15 gnome(almost same for kde except starting numbers)

EDUBOSS (Debian derivative) (I apologize but i have write the full error i got bcz may be it helps somebody to find what's going on)
BOOT FAILED !
The debian live image failed to boot. Please file a bug against the 'live-initramfs' package or email the debian Live mailing list at <debian-live@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> make sure to note the exact version, name and distribution of the image you were attempt to boot.
The file /live.log contains same debugging information but booting with debug command line parameter will greatly increase it's verbosity which is extremely useful when diagnosing issues.
live-initramfs will start a shell.
The error message was: Unable to find a medium containing a live file system.
Busy Box v.1.10.2 (Debian 1:1.10.2-2) built in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands.
<bin/sh:can't access tty:job control turned off (initramfs)-
Ubuntu 11.04 Gnome
Black screen nothing.
Ubuntu 10.10 & 10.04 gnome (Both gave same error "Backtrack 5 also" bcz it is ubuntu 10.04 based distro)
GLIB_________________________(some kind of error i could note bcz it stays for few seconds)
stdin:error0
/init:line7:can't open /dev/sr0:no medium found
/init:line7:can't open /dev/sr0:no medium found
same error repeating
I also tried to check disc for error option but same error as above .
Slackware
Bcz it's command line it has direct option of installation no live media.
I have created live usb using unetbootin latest version. if i get any update regarding problem soon i'll release it's second version. lolz!!!
