    Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block

    Whenever i try to install Ubuntu i get this error
    "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 1147534"
    "end_request: I/O error dev sr0, sector9180280" the error just repeats over and over again. Any ideas?

    This usually pops up when the installer can't read the CD. I had the same issue until I burned another ISO image.

    I've burnt over 10 copies now, do you think its my disc drive? I thought it might be my disc drive earlier when i kept getting the error i was just hoping it wasn't because i only have one working disc drive.

    Try the LiveCD on another computer. It will either prove it is the CD or some other problem with the computer itself.

    This error is telling you that you are unable to read the CD drive.

    This doesn't necessarily mean that the disk has not been burned correctly.

    It could be a problem with the IDE...try the following:
    • Put in the CD
    • When you get to the menu press F6 (I think, don't have it in front of me)
    • Add the following (without the quotes) to the end of the parameter list that appears at the bottom of the screen, "irqpoll all_generic_ide=1".
    • Now try run it from the CD. You'll need to do this for the install and the live view.


    Check this works off the CD before installing.

    Hope this helps.

    It looks like your not burning valid disks from that burner. You need to try burning a disk from another machine. It could be the software you are using to make the CD or the drive hardware itself I'm guessing.

    Do you have any recommendations for software?

    Are you burning the CD in Windows or Linux?
