My brother's computer (an fairly old Dell Intel machine) has troubles with windows (The installation copies setup files, goes to restart and then copies the setup files all over again) so I decided to try put Ubuntu on it. I downloaded a DVD torrent of Ubuntu 7.10 burned it and popped it in and I get the following:
The menu loads I select load/install ubuntu
Loading screen
CD drive clicking noise
Then it says on the screen:
Busybox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands.
(initramfs) [ 144.049678] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
[ 144.049726] ata1.00: cmd c8/00:08:00:00:00/00:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 cmd 0x0 da ta 4096 in
Sometimes get 'Buffer I/o error on device sda, logical block 0' but continues anyway.
Waited several hours and the number at the edge got to [ 6144.049726] or something like that.
I tried it on own computer and it all loads up fine I get the desktop up and am able to install if I wanted.
I want to install this on my brother's PC and help would be great.
