    12.10 Installation Fails

    I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 AMD64 on my desktop computer with an SSD, an HDD, Asus Sabertooth Z77 and a Nvidia Graphics card. None of the previous forum posts had solutions that worked.

    Here are two pictures I took of what it says with nomodeset (I still breaks with no nomodeset but everything on the other forum threads said to try activating it. Also, the image is fine, I checked the MD5Sum and it is correct. Anyway, here are the pictures, excuse the poor quality, I don't have a better camera around so this was the best I could do (typing it all out would be very time consuming).



    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    your screenshot is a kernel panic.
    i'm too lazy for browsing the web to get your hardware specs, and your bios/uefi config, so i let you find it first.

    Some links.

    Asus UEFI instructions (except efi should be first partition, but must not have to be)

    Some also need other/additional boot options, but that seems to vary by every vendor & model:
    Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 with I7-3820
    Needed F6 to set ACPI=Off.and nomodeset

    As it turned out, it was the optical drive. I unplugged it and it worked.
