Hi All -
I am trying to install the latest version of ubuntu which is seemingly straight forward according to the documentation - but running into a resistance.
I use bootcamp to partition my disk, inserted the CD that contained the .iso
I can see the welcome screen, proceeded to install but never got passed that. Ubuntu 8.10 just sits there for a really long time when I chose 'install'. I got further with 8.04 though. I saw Loading Kernel message going to 100%, but then in five minutes it spat out message saying that it couldn't find a drive to mount??

Anybody ran into this issue? I removed --quiete splash by pressing F4 and tried any other boot parameter combinations but to no avail. Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated.

burn the image as slow as possible and try again. verify the iso download if you still have trouble.
