Hi, beginner here. Trying to install Ubuntu, seems like it'd be a fun OS to learn. But first I need to install before I learn. :P


I have the burned CD, following a guide on the forums for burning it. Everything checked out, followed it perfectly, no error according to the guide.

When I choose "install" on the ubuntu boot screen, it does the progress bar, and then it gets something like this:

Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block (numbers here)



Does that a couple more times.... then:

SQUASHFS error: unable to read fragment cache block [352d222]
SQUAHSFS error: unable to read page, block 352d222, size 60b7

Goes in a pattern like that for a while...

It sets up some more stuff.... and then...


This pops up 10 times:

User not known to the underlying authentication module.




Then it locks up.


Help please? Beginner here. Thanks.




HERE ARE THE GUIDES I USED:

Guide 1 (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/iso) - getting the CD (worked out perfectly as far as I'm concerned).

Guide 2 (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing) - Installing it (Failed, as you know, after the loading/progress screen).

Looks like a bad sector in the installation CD. Or maybe the CD drive itself is getting older?

What guide are you using?
Are you using the alternateCD rather than the LiveCD?

Let me send you the links to the guide(s) I followed. I'll edit my post when I find it.

I had the same problem. I finally found that I was using a CD ROM drive that was not compatible w/ the Ubuntu 8.04 disc. I tried a DVD drive that was newer and the installation worked fine. You might have to install a newer firmware.

I hope that helps.
