I can't even start latest version of Ubuntu when booting from cd and don't even know where to enter commands?

Also would look to know if my computer is totally compatible with Ubuntu latest version here are the specs

Envision EN7410e LCD Flat Panel monitor
Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 motherboard
PNY Nvidia Verto 7600GS PCI Express
Logitech Optical WheelMouse M-BJ58
PQI Turbo Memory DDR2 667Mhz 128 bit 2x512mb
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+
Sony DDU 1622 DVD ROM drive
HP DVD 840i DVD-RW drive
Linksys WUSB54GC-V1.0 Compact Wireless-G USB adapter
Apollo P2200 Printer
Sony 1.44" floppy drive beige MPF920BGE
ATi TV Wonder Pro Pci TV tuner/video capture card
Conexant HCF V90 RTAD 56K Speakerphone PCI Modem
Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB SATA 300mb/s hard drive 7200 rpm

I will add the exact error message soon as well.

Usually the best way to find out if there have been reported issues with your hardware is to search the make and model number and Ubuntu in google, that will usually bring up any known issues, also a quick search in the forums http://www.ubuntuforums.org and the . For example when I search google and the forums for:

Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 Ubuntu

And it's variants, I didn't find anyone complaining about problems, so you should be good to go. Just have to do that with the rest. Off the top of my head, you are probably going to need some extra configuration for your analog modem, I don't think ATI supports tv in on the video card, Everything else should probably be fine.

Though if you are getting an error on the CD, please check the MD5 of the disk

Thanks for your help not sure if the cd is the problem or my computer here is the error message, "17119572.052000] Kerner Panic not syncing: IO=APIC +timer doesn't work! Boo with apic=debug and send a report. Then try booting with the 'noapic' option 1719572.052000]_"

I am not sure how to check if the cd rom is corrupted where do I enter those commands?

Does anybody know where I can enter those special commands to boot differently?

Hello !

When you see the menu on install, you can F2 to change language, F3 to change keymap and the key you want o use is F6 ... You then see a line with parameters ... This is the line to edit. Just append 'noapic' in the end (just before the '--').

If you want to send a crash report, you can start with apic=debug and file a bug.
