Linux [Ubuntu] Boot Problem?

ok not too long ago i finished the download and burning process of ubuntu for my laptop.


i decided to make the switch from windows to Linux.


i downloaded the iso and burned it to a CD using InfraRecorder


i put the CD in and it botted fine


a Ubuntu loading screen showed up and than the


Start/Install menu came up.


so i press enter to install it.


i get a error message that reads:





/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control tunned off


(initramfs)





i typed tty and it said /dev/console


im pretty sure its suppose to be /dev/tty


right? correct me if im wrong.


and if it is suppose to be tty how do i change it.





and i tried typing Break=top at the end of the boot options


at the install screen.


and than typing





modprobe piix


exit





i tried pressing CTRL + C did nothing.


any help would be great thanks.

Linux [Ubuntu] Boot Problem?
I would suggest to ask this question in forum http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-... People there would know better how to address this issue.
Reply:I have a hunch... there shouldn't be any problem in the installing period. Especially like this. I think, that the Linux Cd was damaged at the downloading, converting, or burning sequence. I think you should borrow an install cd, witch has been used before, and I'm allmost sure, that there will be no problem
Reply:Sounds like a video card issue, what are the specs of your system? You may need to go with Xubuntu instead.
