I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 8.10 on a new PC.
Hardware is
MB: ASUS M2A-VM
HD: WD 120GB
CD: Generic CD-Rom
Proc: AMD Athon 64 3500
Mem: Crucial 1GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-6400 (x2)
Vid: On board or ATI x1650
I've tried changing between sata and ide drive, changed DVD drives, power cables for the drives, data cables for the drives.
I've downloaded and burned (from different mirrors and different pc's) fresh ISO's. I've ran memtest for 2 days straight (forgot the machine was even running it). Ran boot and nuke on both drives.
And I get one of two errors. One is text about a boot failure and the other is a weird console window that pops up during Ubuntu boot from CD with a bunch of data.
Attached is picture of the console displayed on the monitor.
