That's what mine was called when I burned it. From the error message, |
| 27 |
it looks like it can't properly load the initrd. Did you try copying the |
| 28 |
initrd to the HD and selecting it there? It probably won't make a |
| 29 |
difference, but it definately can't hurt. |

If that doesn't work then I would definately try to burn the CD |
| 31 |
again. Before you do that, check the MD5 checksum from the mirror you |
| 32 |
downloaded the ISO from against the file you downloaded to make sure you |
| 33 |
don't have a corrupt download. |
