[orca-list] Asus 701 Lubuntu won't boot

[Glenn <glennervin cableone net>]

Hi All,
I am now working on getting Linux into my Asus 701 netbook.
It currently has XP on it.
Since it only has a 4GB SDD inside, I thought that I'd try Lubuntu 14.04.
It won't boot, as its kernel won't boot to the Intel processor inside.
Is there an easy solution to this, or if not, I'm wondering about the latest 
Debian based distro that will boot up.
I was considering Arch, but I want a GUI.
Any suggestions?
I will be using Orca.
Thanks.

Glenn
