Bug Description

Attempting to install Ubuntu 11.10 by booting from cd. System hangs with ubuntu logo in background and the strings: EDD: Error 1000 reading sector (356391, 356393, 356395, 350899, 350922, 350966...) And out just keeps adding sectors.

Current machine specs are:
Amd phenom x6 1100
8GB ram
500GB HDD(SATA)
nvidia geforce Gts 450
Msi 990xa-gd55 mobo

Attached is a picture of what exactly is going on.

I'm going to let it sit and think to see if anything else happens.

No idea what happened there, but clearly not related to schooltool.

Might be a defective CD drive, quick google found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1664221 and there are more.

affects: schooltool → ubuntu

I'm sure it's not the cd drive or the cd... I get the same issue when using a usb drive.

I can confirm that this is not a drive issue. I just tried Trisquel 5.0 (Libre-Linux/Ubuntu) and got this error. I have no problem running other CDs, DVDs or burning (i.e. LinuxMint 10.04). I suspect it is related to the contents on the disc. Either some kind of bug, burn error or damaged storage media (disc). Most probably cause number one.

FOLLOWUP: re-download the same Trisquel 5.0amd64 image and it worked. Both images had the same CORRECT md5sum values; so my guess is the problem was with burning first time round or item number 2 "burn error".
