Thanks for your comments. This does not appear to be a bug report as such. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise your question at http://launchpad.net/support or on the Ubuntu community forums at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/forums/
When asking for support, please include additional information, such as the information you would normally include in a typical bug report. In your case, the make and model of your CPU, motherboard, as well as any other information about the hardware (video card, sound card, etc) that you can provide. For example, you may also want to test and see if the regular Ubuntu LiveCD loads up fine, instead of the alternate install CD. Furthermore, you may also want to mention whether or not you tried checking the MD5 sums of the CD images you downloaded. Detailed instructions on how to verify and burn ISO images are available on the Ubuntu wiki under this address: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto I hope that this difficulty doesn't discourage you from trying Ubuntu on your computer, and I really hope that you overcome your problems! ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- dapper install freeze at "loading kernel" https://launchpad.net/bugs/49175 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
