Did you MD5 check your ISO? Did you verify your CD once initially booted to? Have you ran the memory tester?

sr0 is your CD drive so a bad CD is what I suspected. hmmmm

Ok try disabling any unneeded hadware in BIOS (Like sound, USB, LAN etc) and try again. If not then hit F6 on the first CD boot screen and disable as much as you can there.

Hi :)

It's good to hear your cd/dvd-drive problems have been fixed.
I find that the best cds to use for this are the really cheap 'write once' cds that you can only buy in packs of 10 or more because. The more expensive cds really don't seem to work very well for this and dvd's are hopeless. Here's a guide to help make a great cd
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto

Then try booting up from the Cd and use the option "Try Ubuntu without making changes to this machine", that should get you to a working desktop which we call a LiveCd if it works. It's a good way to check that Ubuntu will work easily on your hardware so most distros (different versions of linux) have this feature available. Ubuntu's LiveCd's Firefox should get you straight onto the internet and able to surf into here. With most distros you have to press 2 or 3 buttons but Ubuntu usually manages to pickup on your internet connection straight away :)

Please let us know how this all goes :)
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

disable as much as you can in bios. You could fsck the partition you are going to install ubuntu to

So you managed to get a LiveCd session working and could surf your way into here?

I'm not sure if it will help much but is there anything in this guide that looks about right?
