Okay so here is the deal. I'm hyped up about trying Ubuntu finally. I've been wanting to do so for a while but haven't gotten the opportunity until now. My employer just gave me an old server and I decided to try Ubuntu Server. I'm sadly disappointed though and here is why.
I have downloaded the 8.04.1 iso from the U Cal servers twice. I even did a checksum to make sure they were all good (they were). I then burned two different brand CDs on two different occassions using Nero 7 (burn completed without errors). I have also tried to install it on 2 different servers. None of them will install which is a little disappointing and frustrating since the checksum and burn were both successful and I know for a fact these servers are in good working condition.
Here is the setup of the server that I will be installing it on:
Pentium3 1Ghz x2
4GB DDR2 ECC
4x37GB Serial SCSI (Raid 0)
I'm not sure what you will need beyond that since these seem to be the most important parts of the server for a linux install.
The server is a Dell PowerEdge 2550 just for the record.
Any ideas as to why this continues to fail? :confused:
