Comment 31 for bug 36667

Launched the PC LiveCD on an unpartioned P3 machine. The GUI displayed "Mounting root file system" for quite a while, then displayed in text "Uncompressing Linux. . . Ok, booting the kernel." Then a series of "[nnn.nnn] hdd: ide_intr: huh? expected Null handler on exit" and "[nnn.nnn] I/O error on device hdd, logical block 357298". There were long delays after each line. I cancelled the process.

The same CD previously ran fine on another machine (P4) with Windows XP Pro running. Created the PC Alternate CD and it installed correctly on the P3 machine using the text installer. FWIW, the CD/DVD players on both machines have been in use a more than a year w/o problems. RedHat and Solaris have installed w/o problems on the P3.
