  I created a separate partition on my harddrive next to Windows 7 and installed it fine (using 2 x 1 GB RAM sticks). I took the CD to install on my girlfriend's computer (replacing Windows) and ran into this issue (she has 2 x 2 GB RAM sticks). Removing one RAM module worked fine.

  Hopefully this will prove useful in debugging: I noticed some odd messages on my girlfriend's computer, but not on mine.

After booting the CD, selecting English and then either Install or Run from the live CD, these stood out as the CD loaded:

W: Skipping non-existing file /cdrom/dists/karmic/main/binary-i386/Packages
W: Skipping non-existing file /cdrom/dists/karmic/restricted/binary-i386/Packages

and a little further down several lines like:

[ 165.865192] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1713064
[ 165.865224] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 353266

Note this happened with both RAM sticks, when it didn't work, as well as with one RAM stick, when the installation was successful.

  Did anyone else get messages like these?
