After trying many different things I decided to run the memtest8+
utility that came on the Ubuntu CD. This reported errors on one of the
memory chips. When I removed the offending chip Ubuntu workstation was
able to install without a problem. I didn't try the Debian etch CD
again since my preference was to try out Ubuntu first.
Thanks again for everyone's help.

I just purchased a new machine and I have been having a very
frustrating time installing linux on it. I have tried installing
ubuntu workstation, ubuntu server and debian etch all without success
but with different failures. The machine is a Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz with
a Gigabyte 945GZ motherboard. It has 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 250 GB SATA
hard disk and a generic DVD RW combo. I am using the onboard video
and LAN with an additional network card in the box. Below are details
of the errors that I get. I don't know how to tell if this is a
hardware compatibility issue, broken hardware, bad CDs or the phase of
the moon. Any help would be much appreciated.
