I'm pretty much a noob to linux, besides installing one or two previous versions just out of curiosity, but I've never had problems like I've had today.
My computer is pretty old but I imagine it can run it fine once I figure all this out (Asus A7n8X-X, 1 GB ram, Radeon 9600, AMD Athlon 1.16ghz). Listing for possible compatibility issues.
Every disc I've burned today (and these were burned on multiple different computers... and multiple linux distros - Ubuntu 10.04, Linux Mint 9) has worked exactly one time before giving me a screen full of errors.
Example: I burn 10.04, put it in, boots fine. Go to install, so I restart, it gives me errors. I figured it may be the disc. Went on another computer, downloaded the iso again, burned it again... put it in, boots up once, then I can't get it to work after a restart. Same exact thing happens with mint.
With Ubuntu I get the error of "BUG: soft lockup CPU #0 stuck for 61s!" and with Linux Mint I get "Unable to locate package files", "Error: Unexpectedly disconnected from boot status daemon" and a bunch of other errors. (Would go into more detail but I have no idea how to save the logs that scroll by during this.)
Any suggestions on solutions or how to get more detailed info to you guys? I'm dyin' to try this out but it's really frustrating me.
