Ubuntu 8.04 64bit won't install

[docmarine]

I have tried using both the "Live CD" and the Alt CD" Niter seems to work. I get either "kernel" panic" or "Unable to read boot disk" I/O error" Thoughts?

Sandy,
Thanks for the quick reply. I did burn the cd, and its good. Interestingly enough, I ade 2 more DVDs both Alt and Desktop 64 bit... and it just seems to hand on a blinking cursor? Do you have any ideas?

I'm having the same problem with a Dell M1210. I just read on some post in the forums that there are some drives that have problems with Live CDs, etc.

I confirmed this by using the CD on another computer without problems and trying to install Dreamlinux on the Dell M1210 without success.
