Thanks :) After a bit of Googling I can see that I'm probably going to end up creating more problems by using intptr_t instead of int, so I'll probably end up chasing my own tail so-to-speak for the...

MadCow: that worked, thanks! Just a couple of minor niggles though, I'm trying to work out as many compilation warning as possible, and I get these for the void and int casts:

I'm having a major headache with some code, and it's down to my (rather crap) understanding of pointers.

I have the following code fragment:

I have a slight problem with my Karmic x64 installation - it doesn't register itself with a DNS lookup on my CentOS DHCP server. My Windows 7 installation on the same PC works fine (I have a...

I haven't really tried a lot since Fedora 10 was released (I did an in-place upgrade from F10 to F11) as I'm more concerned with getting a stable system than I am with playing with drivers.

Does anyone have any update to this problem for 9.10 (Karmic)?

I'll be installing Karmic on my MB5.1 (October 2008 ) this coming weekend (sooner if I'm bored enough) so I'll have feedback on the...

After trying Karmic in VirtualBox, I'm very impressed, and considering changing the Fedora section of my tri-boot setup (Win7+Vista+Fedora) to Ubuntu.

The killer question for me is 3D support....

Can you post the menu.lst file for your GRUB installation? It would be interesting if the kernel that's failing is 2.6.24-19.

If your install is failing at the same point mine is, you should see...

Firstly try using a CD-R instead of an RW, and also try verifying the ISO against the MD5SUM file on the Ubuntu website - instructions on the Ubuntu Wiki How-To.

At what stage in GRUB is the file not found error appearing?

I have had very similar problems with a fresh install of 8.04.1 (topic here), the vmlinuz file loads fine, but the 2.6.24-19 kernel's...

The badblocks check ran fine and completed with no bad blocks found.

I think the problem is just a missing file - the initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic file that the /initrd.img symlink refers to is...

Herman,
Many thanks for the reply, I have tried everything you suggested but still cannot boot to Ubuntu.

When I do the direct kernel boot, GRUB complains that it cannot find the /initrd.img...

What motherboard are you using? It could be that Ubuntu doesn't like that particular chipset. Also, try using the CD as a LiveCD (not an installer) - you can test stuff like hardware compatability...
