description |
Just finished putting together a new computer. Everything powers up
and I load the Ubuntu CD and tell it to do the normal install and it
gets so far and then it takes me to a black screen and all it says is:
Uncompressing Linux ... Ok, booting the kernel.
And it just stays stuck there forever.
Other things to consider if it helps. It's an IDE DVD-ROM, I tried
two different brands and I tried each of them as master, slave, cable
select, and the various cable positions and it made no difference. I
also tried booting with Knoppix and System Rescue CD with no luck.
Knoppix says it can't find the filesystem and the System Rescue CD
says "Can't find CD-ROM"
I tried installing Windows XP and that worked seemingly fine (Maybe this fact rules out a hardware defect?)
Please, please help! I really want my new ubuntu computer to work.
Here are the system specs if that helps:
video= INTEL|CORE 2 E6300 1.86G 775 R
Motherboard= GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 P965 775
video = VGA GIGA N 7600GS GV-NX76G256D-RH R
hard drive = 320G|ST 7K 16M SATA2 ST3320620AS
memory = Kingston ValueRAM Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2-667 DIMM Memory Kit,
240-Pin, CL5, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, Model: KVR667D2N5K2/2G
and tried a run of mill DVD-ROM and also a DVD burner.
This is most likely the same bug as this one (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/55232) but I'll let the experts decide. |

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. firefoxtester we are wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance. |

This is fixed in the {dapper,edgy}-proposed kernel packages. The fixes will soon make their way into the mainline kernel. |
