I cant get kubuntu or ubuntu desktop to boot. When I select Install Ubuntu, it freezes, you see the harddrive light flickers a few times, but I still see the same boot option menu.
I tried with different boot options to disable apic and acpi and stuff, didnt help.
Ubuntu and Kubuntu 8.10 RC cds work fine.
Please help.
Note : tested on old IBM T40, a new emachines laptop, a new acer desktop. After waiting for a LONG LONG time i finally ended up with a kernel panic message, compressed image found at block 0, and after that it says CRC Error. The CD is not defective as far as I can tell. The test media option freezes as well.
