Kubuntu 8.04 alternate CD not working past initial menu

[Linus Östberg]

The RC and today's (22/4) current CD build of Kubuntu 8.04 alternate stops working for me when I leave the initial menu choice (ie choosing to install/go to text mode), meaning that the screen goes blank and the CD stops spinning. If "CD check" is selected, the screen blanks out and the CD spins up.

I have tried turning off acpi and so on, but still blanking out the same way. Those things have never been a problem duing install of 6.10, 7.04 and 7.10.

All ISO files and burned CDs are confirmed to have correct MD5 hashes.

It is on a HP/Compaq nx6325.

I have exactly the same problem with my acer aspire 5720.
Even if i try to go to the first console screen (ctr-alt-f1) i get nothing.

Are you still having this problem with 12.04 or later?

[Linus Östberg (talavis)]

I stopped using Kubuntu and that computer after 10.10, so I cannot answer your question.

[Linus Östberg (talavis)]

And I was using the desktop CD until that time to avoid burning multiple cds in case this bug still existed, so I have no idea if it was fixed before that.
