    Lubuntu 10.10 image not loading

    Is there a known problem with the Lubuntu 10.10 image here? I have downloaded it to two different computers, then burned the images to two different blank CD's (different brands) and neither loads.

    Both only get as far as the Lubuntu menu, once ENTER is pressed at that point to load the LiveCD, a blank screen eventually appears with a flashing cursor at the upper left of the screen, that's it..

    They were both burned using the slowest burn speeds available.

    Have you checked the hash code of that image??

    Yes, the MD5SUM matched on both. Apparently, once the black screen with flashing cursor appears, the computer crashes at that point. The Num Lock light remains on when that key is pressed. The only way to reset is to power the system off.

    Other images (non-Lubuntu or 10.10) will boot fine though.

    try either : noacpi, nomodeset when booting (remove "quiet splash" to be able to see errors)

    Same result with noacpi and nomodeset (with "quiet splash" removed). I also tried "acpi=force" and "reboot=warm" which relates to the information below, with the same result (system crash).

    This system has a 32-bit AMD Athlon CPU inside it. I had some difficulty installing Ubuntu on this at first. Apparently, something relating to SCSI drivers changed during 2008 and all LiveCD's I tried since then, would (like this) not load in on this system. Rather than a total system crash (from the Lubuntu 10.10 LiveCD), the distros from 2008 onward would eventually display various I/O errors when loading in.

    But distros from 2007 and earlier, would run (and install) perfectly.

    In order to get Ubuntu successfully on this system, I had to install Ubuntu 7.10 first, then upgrade it to 8.04 LTS, then upgraded 8.04 to the current 10.04.1 LTS. Because a reboot would not reboot the system, the boot parameters required "acpi=force" and "reboot=warm", in order for this system to reboot itself and power off correctly. These two parameters must be added back into /boot/grub/menu.lst every time the kernel is updated with a new revision number, as it is using the original version of GRUB from the 7.10 installation.

    I wanted to try 10.10 to see if it would at least run, but the image will not boot...

    I also tried a different distro's LiveCD, only to get the same result (system crash). So I don't know what's wrong.

    Have you checked the cd for errors? Press F6 during boot and you should get the option to check.

    I did not check either CD for errors, but I will do that.

    I also ran one of the CD"s on a 64-bit computer and it flew right through, no problems whatsoever, so I would presume there are no errors on at least one of them.

    It's not a 64 bit image is it?
