Initial installation problems

We need more information, like the motherboard, hard disk, IDE/Sata,...

At what point does this happen? Are you loading the live CD, or is this post-install?

when i used the cd provided by the shipit..............i got this error

Busybox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-3 ubuntu3) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

please send me the solution
my pc config is

intel102ggcl mother board
80gb sata hdd
dvd writer
512 mb ddr2 ram

Hello,
hmm... Earlier, I tried one other thing though which seems to make a difference. I switched on the single processor support which according to my understanding turns off the dual core and only one "core" is available. I did not follow through the whole installation but I was able to to go to the point where basic desktop with install link was available.

It will be interesting to find out if ubuntu has the same problem with all Pentium D processors or this problem is specific to the mother board I am using... (same mother board..)
Change to single processor mode in the bios settings please...

Hope it helps,

br,

Bhavani Shankar.

thanks bro.........

I went into the 'Start or Install Ubuntu' option. It then said it was opening the lInux kernel. The error message appeared after that.

Not sure what most of this means or if it's relevant but here's the spec of the machine:

Acer Aspire M1610/L7-AU5L

Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor E2160
(1.8GHz/1MB L2 Cache/800MHz FSB/EM64T)
1GB DDR2 up to 4 GB
250GB S-ATA 7200RPM HDD
9-in-1 media card reader
SIS 672 +SIS 968 chipset
Intergrated SIS Mirage 3 graphics
Gigabit ethernet. Wale-on-LAN ready
Linux program console mode

Try in single processor mode and and please report the errors here...

Thanks. Not sure what you mean by Single Processor mode. Could you
tell me how to do that?

Thanks Again

See, Firstly go to the bios and There will be an option on whether to enable/disable the single processor mode; which according to my understanding turns off the dual core and only one "core" is available.

br,

Bhavani Shankar.

Thanks. The intended machine is a few kms away from me and won't be
able to access it for at least a day, but will let you know what
happens.
