Bug Description

Hi.

Today I just downloaded this new Ubuntu release for my computer, a Quicksilver G4 933 Mhz with 2MB L3 cache.

MD5sum for the cd image is correct.

I burned it with two different applications, in two different disks (obviously) and in both cases, when booting up (splash screen came up, this isn't a video issue) it spits out an error (in console 1, not the one with the splash screen):

Buffer I/O Error in device /dev/hdc (the cdrom) at sector ######.

I don't remember the sectors, but they were different for each burn.

I checked the MD5sums of all the disk contents, according to the file provided in the CD, and they're OK.

I intepret this as an error while reading the CD, but it's an error of the original CD image available to download i think, as in two different burns happened the same thing.

Hope this helps.

I'm really eager to try this new Ubuntu release.

See ya.

Sorry. My fault.

It appears it was either a download problem or a burn problem.

This is fixed, it runs perfectly on ppc.

Hope I didn't bother you.

See ya.
