We can try... but there's not a lot of info to go on... Firstly, the obvious: 1) Did you double-check the MD5 checksum for the file you downloaded? If the file you downloaded was damaged in some way, that could cause the boot to fail... 2) When you burned the media, did you have it verify the burn? If there were errors during the burn, there may very well be problems with the disk (you did use a high-quality disk, right? They're not much more $$$ than the el-cheapo disks, and give you much less heartburn). 3) Have you tried a different distro's LiveCD to see if the machine will boot from a CD without other issues? It's possible if you have newer hardware, that there aren't the correct drivers available on the LFS LiveCD, or if the CDRom drive itself is having issues, that could cause errors like this. Beyond that, please let us know a) what else you tried, b) the hardware you're running on (motherboard version, type of drive, etc) and if other things will or won't work correctly on your machine. The more information we have to go on, the better chance we have of helping you solve your problem. Thanks, Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger | "Profile, don't speculate."
