Installation issues / Re: error using quick DVD

« on: December 15, 2008, 04:26:55 pm »

I have also ran into this issue. Mine was caused by Kubuntu 7.10 and a P35 motherboard.

There are tons of "fixes" on the web, but the only one I have found that resolved my issue was to modify the kernel boot line. At the Kubuntu splash screen when you are trying to install, I pressed F6 and added "irqpoll" to the end of the command line before the "--". This allowed my system to boot past that. I later had to modify the /boot/grub/menu.lst and add irqpoll to the kernel lines in there. (You can also hit ESC at the GRUB loader and edit the kernel lines there but it won't stay).

Let me know if that helps.

Users / Re: Playback of MKV/H264/X264 HD video files: a solution using CoreAVC

Just my 2 cents. I've been working on this since I saw the first post.
This setup works with both the x86 and x64 710RC2 DVD installers (as far as installation). I haven't tried a manual install with the CD version.

I do have a question though, how can I tell if it is working properly on a diskless MD?
