Hello!
I've got such situation:
1. I'm burning that iso: http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=server&bits=32&release=latest on the cd
2. Inserting that CD into my old desktop (intended to set up a LAMP, It's conf: athlon XP 2200+, płyta ASUS A7N8X-X ) 1,5 GB RAM and start it
3. after the POST i see that:


boot from CD
ISOLINUX 4.04 20110518 ETCD copyright (c) 1994-2011 H. Peter Anvin et al
usage: gfxboot.c32 bootlogo [messagefile]

and it freezes. Nothing happens, i can't input anything. Only ctrl+alt+del works ;/
Where is the problem? How to solve that situation?
Thanks in advance for any help
best regards, konserw.

BTW: this is my first post, so hello to everyone ;)

so i did that and it worked.... but it was buggy, said i needed to update/upgrade. tried that and it failed. partial upgrade. then it was real buggy. so i tried a clean/fresh install of 11.04, nothing hangs up on beginning. then 11.10 came out, so i tried that same thing... Now im thinking bad boot disk, so i through it in another computer and it works fine...WTF??? my computer is a toshiba satellite m45-s169. any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
