Hi folks,
i have installed a ubuntu a few times using different versions and hardware.
but this is a first for me.
while installing ubuntu server on a machine that used to run ubuntu hardy (just tried CentOS), i get error as below>
!! install the base system
cannot install base system
the installer cannot figure out how to install the base system. no installable CD-Rom was found and no valid mirror was configured.
*however* i have test the CD on this machine and it passed
i also burned 3 other CDs and all fail.
i am installing on LVM-root but it was working fine on Hardy before
while the installer is running - on a second ternminal if i try
ls -l /cdrom/*
i get errors such as:
ls: /cdrom/ubuntu/doc: Input/output error
..
any idea on what i can do?
many thanks,
Nicolas
