arctic Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 hello and welcome aboard. :) could you please give us some information on your hardware? this would help us a lot. when you downloaded the cds ( i guess you downloaded them), did you make a md5sum check to verify that the file wasn't corrupt? maybe you also got a bad burn. this happens quite often, when people burn the images at maximum speed. reducing the burn-speed often solves such problems. oh... and unplug all unnecessary devices when trying to install (e.g. usb-devices).

Ixthusdan Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Also, run the install with no acpi. At the boot splash, hit F1, and type "linux noapci" on the command line. Then continue as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Also, check your BIOS for a Plug and Play OS settings, and make sure this is not set to be controlled by the OS. Choose the other option, which is most likely Off/Disable. Another thing, you could try is pressing F1 and typing: linux noapic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mandrakenovice Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 My hardware: CPU: Amd athlon 64 3000+ MB: Via k8t800 MEM: 2x512mb DDR HDD: 250GB SATA150 VGA: Radeon 9600XT 256MB My current operating system is Windows XP home Edition. And yes I have downloaded cds. I didn't check files with md5sum because I don't know how I should do that. If I would try again to burn slower but with rw cds would that cause problems? ianw1974: I didn't find a Plug and Play OS settings from my bios.

ianw1974 Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 First, try booting from the CD and pressing F1 and typing one of the following to see if it gets you going: linux noapic linux noacpi linux noapic nolapic linux noapic ide=nodma or combinations of the above together. Then if you still have probs, you can burn to RW CD's, but try at a slower speed, say 4x when burning. Then try booting again from the newly created disks.
