Hello
i have burned another CD and got rid of
unzip: crc error
but hanging with the following;
aboot: no disklabel found
ISO: Max Size: 332353 Log zone size: 2048
ISO: First datazone: 28 Root inode number 57344
aboot: loading compressed kernels/vmlinux.gz
aboot: Zero-ffailing 181480 bytes at 0xfffffc0000ae9610
aboot: loading initrd (1474560 bytes / 1440 bytes at 0xfffffc0000ae9610
aboot: starting kernel kernels/vmlinux.gz with arguments root=/dec/sda0 text

At this point it just hangs.
Please advise.

Ted
