Was running 0710b2 (i386) and did not have this issue.. with beta3 64 bit, appserver does not start... no flicr images, no additional software to install (non-network issue, can browse internet) in the logs I'm getting App_Server (xxxxx) Trap divide error rip:xxxxxx
Any ideas?

I'd suggest a Mantis for this problem... give a full description of your hardware please.
We are using LinuxMCE-0710 on multiple 64bit AMD64 machines and I have to say we have seen zero problems now for several weeks.

I'm not seeing this issue either, did the CD install for 0710-beta3.

Will enter a Mantis.. Did the DVD install twice now, same results... just finished downloading the 32-bit and am about to install to see if there are any problems there with beta3 32-bit
Hardware:
Asus Pundit barebones: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856110057 with Sempron 3000+ 1GB Ram, integrated NVidia 6150.

Confirmed... 32-bit installed fine.. no issues... 64-bit won't run so far on this hardware.

See our the two cores we are running without problems under a 64bit install;

Strange.. I don't understand it... but 64 bit is unusable on my hardware.
-
Asus Pundit barebones: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856110057 with Sempron 3000+
CPU is 32b or 64b?

I cannot get the dvd to even begin the install -- It boots up, and eventually just dumps me out onto a busybox prompt that says (initramfs) and won't continue any farther. I had the same problem with the 0710 beta 2 dvd. What's strange, is the 0704 DVD would do this sometimes, and on other attempts, it would work properly.
I initially suspected the RAM, so I did a full ram test, two passes, but it's fine.
Next thing I'm going to try is to take back my video card to Fry's and get a different one -- I have the nVidia 8500GT, which doesn't seem to work so great with linux for some reason. Particularly since linuxmce insists on rewriting my xorg.conf file every freaking time I boot up -- if I get it to work once, I can count on the system falling over when it reboots.

can you please post the entire message before stop? it seems to be a problem with loading the drivers. personally, I saw this error when trying to setup a MD with nvidia network card.

The specs for the Sempron 3000+ state 32/64-bit operating mode.. I assume (probably the first mistake) that would mean it is 64b...

My advice is get a nVidia 6200 card... they just work. ;-)

Definitely a 64b cpu... shot in the dark, but maybe since it's 32b/64b compatible there is something in the BIOS to look at.. will check tonight.... however I'm about 2 weeks away from getting this deal from NewEgg:

There is no message before the stop -- just the BusyBox copyright/license message and the (initramfs) prompt, on an otherwise blank screen.

So it turns out, strangely enough, that 0710 doesn't like my SATA chipset. None of my SATA drives (including my DVD-Rom drive) are recognized, and it can't find a root filesystem to mount.
Even more perplexing, is that 0704 recognizes and works with all my SATA devices just fine.
Upon more investigation, the problem is with Kubuntu 7.10 vs Kubuntu 7.04, not with linuxmce. But why would kubuntu and/or the linux kernel drop support for a working sata chipset?

Is it possible some bios settings could be at fault.
I have seen various settings for legacy etc
