I downloaded ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso a couple of weeks ago and I get an
identical problem. The installation process stops shortly after displaying
"Booting the kernel" and shows the error message:
BUG: Int 14 : CR2 ffb41000
and then locks up.
The system has an Asus P5QL motherboard with a Core 2 Duo E8500 and 4 GB
RAM.
It's disappointing to see that, although this bug appears to have been
known about for some months, there is no mention of it in the 8.10
release notes.
