Do you have the same results using Ubuntu 8.04?<span style='color:#1F497D'> No,
installs</span><br>
Have you upgraded the BIOS?<span style='color:#1F497D'> Yes, all up to date</span><br>
Have you tried using the Ubuntu 8.10 Alternate CD?<span style='color:#1F497D'>
If you mean 32b, yes. Same problem</span><br>
I know you want a server, but it's just to be sure everything goes ok using
Ubuntu 8.10 with an alternate install<span style='color:#1F497D'> I am
installing 8.04 Server – although completed but failed to reboot after
install. Just re-installing but with other HDs removed. If it fails
then I will resort to Desktop version at 8.04 64b....</span><br>
Did you checked you MD5 checksum?<span style='color:#1F497D'> No. How?</span><br>
Would it be possible to run a memtest?<span style='color:#1F497D'> Yes, all OK<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I think there has much to do
with the Gigabyte MB as anything else. As they told me they do not test their
boards with Linux. Sent me to AMD. They were very dismissive.
Won’t buy another Gigabyte MB.</span><br>
