Hello Leann, Sorry I cannot confirm this exactly, since I am now using the box in which I encountered the problem, for 'real work'. As I mentioned, I overcame the installation problem by adding the magic 'all_generic_ide' option to the boot line.
But yesterday, I did try installing the fresh Xubuntu-8.10-alpha-6 on a machine (of some kid I teach in school) that was brought to my home. I got similar problems, on two burned images. They were burned by the following commands: cdrecord dev=/dev/scd0 -v -data intrepid-desktop-i386.iso wodim -v speed=8 -data intrepid-desktop-i386.iso (The downloaded iso-images are fine, I verified the md5sum) But this time, even the magic 'all_generic_ide' did not help, and I could not get to neither the live-session, nor pass the CD-verification step. I ended up, installing the good-old Xubuntu-7.10. My (:male:) intuition tells me, that - with recent Ubuntu installation kernels, there are problems when using old CD/DVD drives, or other dependent firmware in the box. Hence my advice is to get some old Pentium-3 board, and old CD/DVD drive that is normally working fine, and run installation tests on such combination hardware. regards -- yotam On Sat, 20 Sep 2008 00:35:13 -0000 Leann Ogasawara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Yotam, > > Care to quickly confirm if this is still an issue with the latest Alpha6 > release that just came out yesterday - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . > The reason I ask is that Alpha4 contained a 2.6.26 kernel whereas Alpha6 > has a much newer 2.6.27 based kernel.
