I can't replicate the same crash but I'm now getting: " Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. [ 75.784898] PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:10000 at fd000000 for 0000:01:00.0 " Hope that helps. I'm gonna try the alternate CD. -- Kernel Panic on boot from install/live CD https://launchpad.net/bugs/47930
