Segmentation Fault

[PrimoTurbo]

I tried 3 times already using Wubi-7.04.04, I defragmented and used scan disk before my installs. I tried ubuntu and ubuntu studio with no success. Everything goes fine, install is complete asks me to reboot and I do. I then get a selection for Windows or Ubuntu. I select Ubuntu, it tries loading stuff I see the terminal text and then it stops and I see.

[22.985741] Segmentation fault

sometimes the numbers are different, anyways I CANNOT find the solution anywhere. I found a bunch of other threads on here and on Google with people having the same problem. There is something flawed with wubi..

My specs are the following
Windows XP Pro
250GB WD
P4 1.6Ghz
768 DDR RAM
ATI 9700 Pro 128MB

Please help me out, my DVD drive is busted can't get Ubuntu installed

Sometimes the hardware is not compatible. Try to boot the LiveCD, if that does not work, you are out of luck

I have installed ubuntu about 50 times before and it works fine with my hardware, it's wubi that's not working. My DVD drive seems to be broken, I'm having problems ejecting stuff latley and any time I try to install Linux it hangs at some point.

Any more ideas?

I'd need some more info to understand at what point exactly you have the crash. From how you put it, it looks like a kernel crash, that should not have much to do with wubi, since wubi code is not executed at that point. Did you try Ubuntu with the kernel 6.20.15-generic?

[PrimoTurbo]

It's using which ever is the default kernel that comes with 7.04 as I have made no changes to anything. The reason why I don't think it's ubuntu because I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 off the sent cd and off the alternative cd which I burned before with no problems, same for Ubuntu Studio, Kubuntu & Xubuntu. My DVD drive is currently busted so I can't install it off the cd.

I appreciate your help btw

Do you get a prompt or it just freezes?

[PrimoTurbo]

It doesn't freeze in fact I can even type but there is no response on the commands. I'm stuck in the terminal loading text screen, I can even switch workspaces with alt+f2 but can't type in the second one.

[ago]

is during installation, or after installation? do you see the blue screens or not?
what do you get if you type something like "ls" after alt+f2? absolutely nothing?

[PrimoTurbo]

This is after the wubi installation, I reboot I get a selection Windows or Ubuntu. I select Ubuntu, it starts loading, there is no blue screen or anything. There is a black screen with text, then I see the error after a few minutes.

[PrimoTurbo]

So absolutely no fix for this? There is clearly a problem with Wubi causing this, many threads about it...
