    Question The Kernel Problem

    Hi, I tried to install one of linux OS on my labtop after wiping it clean and shortly after I clicked install, it states that I don't have the correct Kernel? I needed to re install an operating system so I decided to try linux after wiping it clean. What does this mean? This is a first for me.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    What distribution+version of Linux are you trying to install, and what hardware is it going on (CPU, RAM, disc space, networking, etc)?

    Hello and Welcome.
    Which distro did you download? Did you check the md5 sums before you burned it to disk?

    I bought the new 64 BIT 5 PACK set off ebay. 5 COMPLETE OPERATING SYSTEMS + CD. I tried to install the ubuntu, kubuntu, and the fedora operating system and had the same problem with each. Im not sure where it was trying to install all I know is that I put the cd in my labtop after erasing everything and the kernel message eventually came up. How do I find out?

    My guess is that your system doesn't support a full 64-bit OS. You might check in the BIOS settings so see if there is something there. What is the CPU in your laptop (manufacturer and model # - your BIOS should be able to say, if you don't know).
