I found a reference in other bugs to the fact that the image loaded during a normal install may not work on older systems. The work around is to install the linux-image-386 after the normal install is finished and the continuous rebooting has started to occur.
To load the linux-image-386: - Place the Ubuntu CD in the drive and start the install. - Proceed through the install until you get to the part where is is going to partition the hard drives. - Press ALT-F2 and then press enter. You are now in a black command screen. - enter the following commands mkdir /mnt/temp mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt/temp chroot /mnt/temp apt-get install linux-image-386 Sit back, relax and wait for the install to complete. After it completes, it should boot OK -- Continuous rebooting after new install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104786 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
