Hi all,
First off, this isn't my first time around. I first installed Ubuntu during Dapper's initial release, and i've done a fresh install of each update since.
That said, however, I am not having any luck successfully creating a Live CD this time around. I have downloaded a .iso image from three separate locations now (mininova.com, torrents.ubuntu.com, ubuntu.com/download), and none CDs I burned from these locations have worked.
I've tried to search the forums to see if others are having similar problems, but it seems I might be the only one.
Pre-emptive thoughts: I have burned the image from both Linux and Windows (k3b and imgburn respetively) on the slowest settings, and I instructed each program to verify the results. I also used the "check cd for defects" option in the splash screen on the live cd. All of that went without a hitch.
Here is my problem:
The Live CD displays the initial splash screen, no problem. It gets just beyond the screen "loading the linux kernel" and then gives me a flashing screen of vertical green and yellow lines. Nothing like this has ever happened before, and it has now happened with three different Live cd's in a row, each from a separate .iso image.
If anyone has any help, I would appreciate it greatly!
