[SOLVED] unable to boot/install Xubuntu 9.10 live CD

[htismaqe]

Downloaded xubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.

Verified MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 hashes.

Burned CD and put it in the drive. Ran the CD checker and verified the CD was good.

Tried to boot to live CD and I get a stream of errors:

stdin: error 0

Over and over and over until it finally exits out and gives me this:

BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

And then it drops to an initramfs prompt.

It looks like problem is in .iso file. When did you download this .iso file?

About 8 hours ago.

Ok ! Let me check if that .iso have initramfs and standard input problems.

I'm downloading again just to be sure...

http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso...sktop-i386.iso

Seems odd that all 3 hashes were correct and the CD passed the check at bootup.

As I mention earlier, its not installation media problem. Problem is in .iso file only. Developers have missed something while packing .iso file. I haven't checked it yet.
I will try it soon and let you know.

My apologies, I misread your earlier post. I thought you meant it was an issue with the integrity of the ISO I downloaded, rather than an issue with the ISO itself.

Thanks for looking into it.

Any news?

I posted it in the Ubuntu forums as well, but it's buried because of the sheer volume related to the release.

Downloaded it again from the same mirror. Checked all the hashes and checked disc integrity via the boot menu.

The only thing different was:

1) Different PC with different CD/DVD drive
2) Used ImgBurn instead of Roxio because Roxio is crap

It's currently 45% installed.
