unable to install ubuntu 7.10

had the same problem until I downloaded the ubuntu version from here http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ then try to upgrade
let me know if it works

but i have a original CD from ubuntu.com, do i really have to download an older version first then just upgrade later?

Hello

Can you please give some more info about the errors? Can you give us bit more info about your system specs?

my PC specs:
core2 duo 2.0
intel mother board D946GZIS
1GB memory
256mb video card pci-e / 128mb built-in
160gb HDD

i have the CD from ubuntu i requested, for the x86 32bit pc's.

upon booting up with the CD, theres is no problem choosing to install or run the live cd. then after choosing there is promt message regarding memory failure but that is very quick that i cant memorized then it goes to the progress bar in orange color where indicated that its installing. on its 3rd bar, its goes frozen. And i tried to live it like for overnight but still same as i left it. ill try again the installation so that i can take note that error mesaage. please wait....

OK.. ;-) have a look slowly and keep us informed...

[ 54.127616] PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource 06:20000050000000 for 0000:0
1:00.0

thats the error message before it goes to the orange progress bar.

Seems like a BIOS bug See

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/54294

for more Info..

In the mean time , try the ubuntu 64 bit version instead of the 32 bit..

http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/ubuntu-releases/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso

you can download the ISO from the above link (or) you can order it from shipit

secondly update the bios of your machine and try..

Have a try and keep us informed..

ok I will... tnx

some said that installing 64bit installer to my pc is not a good idea... they said, it will install but ther will be errors because incompatibility... it that true?

I was able to install the Ubuntu 7.10 by disabling the PCI-E Video card and use the built-in video card. After the installation, the error message still appear but it continue to boot. Right now, everytime I want to use the Ubuntu, I have to disable the other video card first. If not, it freeze when its in the status bar.
