I just tried an install with an iso downloaded by torrent this morning. Same problem with no kernel found. In Console F4, I saw endless probing and not found. I'm not sure what it was looking for, but it was Intel ISA PCIC probe: then numbers. I watched up to 1000.... and it always said not found. Many times it just had 'kernel: not found', but often it was the 'Intel ISA...' bit followed by 'not found'.
Also, I noted that my hard drive was found as scsi when it is ide. ** Attachment added: "/proc/cpuinfo" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5758052/cpuinfo -- feisty-alternate-i386 for herd-2 cannot install kernel from CDROM https://launchpad.net/bugs/79109 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
