Bug Description
I have no idea if this is the right package to have filed against, but it seemed the best guess.
I have an HP nw8240 laptop that I'm trying to load dapper flight 4 on. I've tried both the live cd and the install cd. Neither will boot their default kernel. They give an I/O error that the ramdisk could not be found. The server install kernel on the install cd, however, does boot successfully.
To eliminate the possibility of this being bad image/cdr/burn/etc I've downloadedand burned the image nearly 10 times, on 3 machines, at different speeds, with multiple blank cds, and only this one machine has had a problem with any of them.
