I think that you might have a bad cd. Can you look on VC3 and VC4 and see if there are any error messages? Please excuse my ignorance on this. Until today I had never dealt with a virtual console. I have done some reading, but am still not sure where I would look for errors. I would be happy to look into this further. I will continue to look on my own but would also appreciate any direction (location of documents, etc.) that you could give me. Ok...sure. When you are in the installer, press <Ctrl><Alt><F3> and <Ctrl><Alt><F4> and see if you see any error messages about reading the cd. If something's not right with the cd, you should see some kind of cdrom seek errors on VC4. Does that help? I didn't find anything that explicitly said error on VC3 or VC4. These two lines caught my attention though: <4> Unable to identify CD-ROM format and <6> cdrom: open failed I am booting from CD-ROM when trying to install. Those messages can be safely ignored. I don't know exactly why the kernel says that, but it always does. Anyway, are these cd's that you burned yourself? If so, did you check the md5sums of the ISO images before you burned them? No, I bought the CDs at a CompUSA. This is very odd. I don't know what the problem is. The debug error message doesn't make a lot of sense. It seems to say that "America/New York" isn't a valid time zone...which it is. Try typing in 'linux ide=nodma' at the bootup screen. Does that help? Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have more information. |
