As luck would have it, I just happen to know what the problem is. This is a very common problem with LiveCD's. Your problem is related to one of 4 things,....

1) Re-burn the CD at no higher than 8x speed - usually the main reason for your exact problem,

2) The ISO was compromised during the download - second most common reason,

3) Use a different brand of blank media - the one you're using might be inferior for this type of ISO,

4) Your CD/DVD burner drive is not compatible with this type of ISO.


Could you please explain why the burn speed would produce such an error
message?


CC, I'd like to, but the developers who created the software have never explained in any detail as to why it happens. It is the most common reason for the error and a slower re-burn always seems to fix the problem - although the other 3 reasons have also been found to solve it when a slow re-burn didn't.

I'm on the developers mailing list and I get a lot of extra info from it, but because they often communicate off-list, the emails don't always follow a particular bug from start to finish.

All I know for sure is that it works.

DL

not positive, but I would expect the problem is that one of the first 3 or 4 places places a possible error in the burn would show up (as long as it boots the kernel) is in creating the ramdisk that loads everything else, since it has to read the memory from the computer to see what is available.

this same error can be (in older MoBos with onboard shared video) from not having the correct amount of available memory reported.
