Hey guys, I've got a weird little problem while trying to install Ubuntu on one of my machines.
First off, running the regulare 32bit 9.1 install disk, the disk boots really slow, pausing on every screen for like 2 minutes. When it finally gets to the menu where I can select the install option, I do that and then wait another 2 minutes. Then it kinda seems to hang there and do a while bunch of nothing.
When I run the alternate 32bit 9.1 install disk, i get the same slow loading of every screen. However, eventually i get to the installer and select my keyboard and language.
The next screen detects my hardware and proceeds to tell me that my installation CD could not be mounted.
I don't know if this is one problem or 2 seperate ones. I've used this same Ubuntu DVD for installs on 3 other machines, so the disk has to be good.
I read of some other people having this issue, and the only fix I've seen from someone yet is replacing the ROM. I've had no issues before this. It's just a plain just LG DVD writer, I love these units and have one in every one of my machines. None of my other machines had this problem.
Any ideas?
