I have burned two separate copies of the KDE version of One and a copy of the Gnome version and it will not boot on my computer either. When I boot, it goes through the initial menu, then the kernel load, but then spits out errors and drops me into a shell.

 

Any ideas because this is brand new to any version of LInux, 2007.1, OpenSuse 10.3, Ubuntu whatever have all worked fine from the dvd-rom for installation as my notebooks internal is dead.

Okay, the problem is a apparently nasty kernel-related one that - as it seems- already existed in older releases and is caused by using two different kinds of CD/DVD drives. Back then, a bug was submitted. Might be worth to check bugzilla again. ;)

I can't reproduce it.

Just tried the dualboot 2008.0 mini ISO, as well as the previous beta2 release of the same CD. Both are booting fine from my handmade ND-4551 USB drive, and I can reach the partitioner with no trouble at all.

Is it something specific to your onboard chipset?

Well I must be lying then... j/k. Seriously though, I'm sure it's something with my notebook, but something that will unfortunately have me using another version of Linux for the time being.
