Hello folks,

i'm getting this error all the time, cannot proceed with install... I'm using the amd64 version of 1.01 ISO, burned to a CD.

Any ideas? Help me muts!! :rolleyes:

EDIT: I've tried disabling AHCI in the BIOS and burned another CD and USB key, same results... Don't know what else to try!! Any ideas? Should I file a bug report or is it related to hardware issues?

SOLVED

I've searched for muts help on the bugtrack pages and he nailed it, it was an error at the image sha1sum. I have downloaded the image before 6 times, and in 3 of them, despite the sha1sum being ok, the problem was due to DVD media problems, as I could notice later on. Problem solved by redownloading the amd64 image, checking the sha1sum and burning the DVD at 2x speed with the CRC option checked in Nero.

Thanks again muts!!!
