I have been unable to install Feisty Fawn. I have put this message together using the format described on the DVD.

I tried booting several times with the same result each time, except that the numbers in square brackets varied. I have previously instaled several Linux distros on this machine, including Ubuntu 6.06, without problems, so I am a loss as to what has gone wrong here. Any help would be apreciated.
