    BusyBox during LiveCD bootup

    I'm trying to install 8.04 on a fresh machine, squeaky clean.

    Here is the machine I am working with:

    Intel Atom processor @ 1.6GHz,
    1GB of DDR2 @ 667MHz (4-4-4-12)
    80GB WesternDigital SATA2 HDD
    Creative 24x CD-RW
    Intel 945 chipset

    The CD launches to the menu where I can pick Try it, Install, Memtest, all that good stuff. Memtest runs fine, no errors detected.

    When I pick either the Install or Try it options, it begins to load up and then crashes into BusyBox with the following error:

    Code:
    udevd-event(1397]: run_programs: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit
    followed by the typical arrangment of BusyBox mysticism.

    Anyone have any ideas? Is this a hardware issue? I understand the Atom is a pretty new processor but it is x86 so I am at a loss as to what is going on.

    I am pretty sure the CD isn't defective either because I have used it several times on other machines, and this is one I had shipped to me. Didn't burn it myself.

    One last thing, doing "Check CD for Defects" gives the same final result as well...
