Having some major problems on this Dell.
I had a Gutsy live CD on me, which loaded up fine. But I want to setup a webserver, with no GUI.
So I downloaded ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386.iso (correct checksum: 7232c6004ba438890cd09aded162dc8e).
I tried booting from USB using unbooting, got to the stage where it was looking for packages and it 'Couldn't find CD-Rom'.
So I burnt the cd-rom, inserted it, and it installed some packages before giving me 'Coulnd't find a suitable kernal' error.
So I restarted, with only the CD Rom in.
Now after selecting English and Install, I don't even get to the installer stage. I just see;
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(104,1).
I have tried re-burning the disk at 2.4x speed.
I did a Integrity test on both discs and they both came back with a problem :s
The ./dists/hardy/main/dist-upgrader/binary-all/hardy/tar.gz file failed the MD5 checksum verification. Your CD-ROM or this file may have been corrupted.
On the other disc is was ./dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages file failed the MD5
I'm currently re-downloading the ISO. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the CD-Rs, they are Verbatim.
Any ideas? Could possibly be the crappy hardware?
Re-downloaded from a different source, and burnt with a different program (clone-cd instead of imgburn), at a different speed (4x).
All seems to be going well this time.
