i found out my problem was i was burning the image at too high of a speed,
for my laptop to read, i had to slow it to like 4x to burn for my old
laptop, then it worked fine.

Ok. I thought you said your CD speed fix had solved it :(

Have you tried it with the current edgy beta?

Can you login in to the command line?

Looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSystemCrash there are some instructions for crashes that happen at start up.

Does this help you provide any information?

Thanks for your bug. That might be the same issue than bug #59217 which is fixed now. Could you try with a new daily CD?
