I have tried the Ubuntu x86 and the Ubuntu Amd 64 alternate cds no luck. Every time it installs it stops and says:

Unable to install the selected kernel

An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into the target system.

kernel package: 'linux-generic'.

Then the virtual console says something about the Sr0 device I/0 errors.

If this helps I am setting this up on an Bios Raid through an Asus m3n78vm-hdmi.

When the installation starts it asks:

Do you want to activate these Raid devices? Then after that I got:

Serial ata raid nvidia_ffihedcj () - 160gb Linux device-mapper.

I have also been having a NEAR similar problem. While attempting to load Ubuntu Server 9.04 (32 & 64-bit), I have been receiving the same error but with 'Kernel package: 'linix-server''. One the machines which give me this error for the server installation, the desktop version installs without a problem.

I do notice once the desktop version loads, there is a driver issue with the video card. However, it does install and it does work with the desktop version.

If it is a video driver issue, does anyone recommend a relatively inexpensive 'known good' video card for a server installation?

Cheers!
