First 4 disks fail during install no matter what I try.
Just to clarify you did the standard order of PC installs right? No 64bit mixup or anything like that?


Boot! Woohoo! Loads up kernel and looks like it's gonna cooperate, then BAM! here comes this screen that says "there were errors during the installation, but we're gonna put you into aptitude so you can fix it. This will only happen once, so if you don't fix the errors, you'll have to fix them manually later."
At console type dmesg and post what you get here. That will allow us to look for @ what happened.

2 and 1/2 hours later it finishes downloading, tries installing some of the language updates and crashes. No big, I don't need my computer to know more japanese than I do anyway. live and learn and next time I'll skip those...so I do.


I've had this problem about 75% of the time when I install as well. I brought it to the attention of the devs and apparently its a common problem.

Just thinking......if you have a kernal panic during boot its likely *nothing* got logged.......

Try to boot and watch the screen and see what is going on when it panics.
