I got the same here. The alternative CD tells that it doesn't find CD- ROM drive. As did all the Egdy releases I tried. I hoped that the new kernel version in Feisty would fix this but no. Still no luck installing Kubuntu after hardware upgrade. Even if I tried to modify BIOS or try the boot flags as described in the forums and wiki.
I'm using Intel Core Duo with Intel DG965WH and Nec 18x Optriac DVD-R drive. I tried Feisty's alternative & desktop 64-bit CDs. -- installation fails due to tty error https://launchpad.net/bugs/75135 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
