wubi doesn't work; booting from CD won't work.

[Instrument]

I tried all of the bootparameters I know, and each time I would get this:

init: rcS main process (5846) killed by SEGV signal
init: unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default: no such file or whatnot found
init:rc-default main process (7131) terminated with status 255


I've been trying for a week now to install ubuntu, how can I work around this?

If you want to install Ubuntu from cd, your RAM at least should 256 mb

I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 from CD (Normal, and OEM Modes)
same thing happens to me... Cant install it.

init: rcS main process (5138) killed by SEGV signal
init: unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default: no such file or whatnot found
init:rc-default main process (6277) terminated with status 255

H.W. Spec:
1Gb Ram
80Gb H.D.D
2000MHz Pentium 4
Chipset 865GM-L asrock (Motherboard)

Ubuntu 7.10 works like a charm...

I had the same problem, when I did a dual boot install on Vista

I found that I was using a DVD instead of a CD.
So, I Downloaded the correct wubi and live cd .iso, put them on a CD and had no problems.
