Installation

[trickster]

I tried to install it a few times but the disc (all of them) were flukey. A 
majority of the time my system hangs after I tell it to boot into 
installation, then I tried linux noprobe, noddc, and nofb options but they 
didn't work everytime. I did get it to go into installation one time, then I 
got an error and I should have written it down, but I did not. Anyways, It 
locks up on
[<c01012b1>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x14
I'm wondering if there's not a problem with the fact that my hard drive is 
SATA because there is a kernel panic dealing with VFS, unable to mount root 
fs on unknown block (8,3) ... it went by too fast, something about VSync 
issues? I'm not entirely sure what that is.

thanks,
trickster.

Ignore the mediacheck and go ahead with the install.
