I have a friend who has a HP Pavillion zt1135. He had the exact same error: isolinux: "Image checksum error, sorry..." This is a firmware / bios problem, not a problem with Linux. Here is info about the bios update: http://h20015.www2.hp.com/en/softwareDownloadIndex.jhtml?reg=&cc=us&softitem=ob-9854-1&prodId=hppavilion81295&lc=en&plc=&sw_lang=en&pagetype=software -------------------------------------------------------------------- HP Pavilion Notebook ZT1135 HP Pavilion ZT1xxx and XZxxx IB and Omnibook IB - BIOS versoin 1.10 Release Date: 2002-09-11 Version: N/A Description: This is a self-extracting file which contains the HP notebook system BIOS IB.M1.10.

Yeah, this means the read of the boot file from the CD drive failed. There's really nothing we can do, sorry.
