    can't boot Kubuntu live cd

    Can't boot or even do cd check. Get error /sbin/modprobe abnormal exit. Attempting to boot on a celeron 2.1 Gz that I installed DEBIAN on a year ago. What's wrong?

    The quick answer is try rewriting at a slower speed (4x).

    Did you burn the iso or just do a data cd?

    I know this seems stupid but it happens from time to time.

      Burned iso not data. Burned using ROXIO on a windows Machine at 10x. It wouldn't let me burn at 4x

        Is 10x the lowest speed? For some reason *ubuntu iso's don't like "fast" burning on some manufacturers media (like sony), don't ask me why I don't know.
        Sorry I can't be of more help.

        Edit:
        I just did a google. There are a few posts with your issue but none with a live cd

        Have you tried using the alternate cd for installing? Or do you want to test the live cd first?

        Edit:
        I found this, I don't know if it is relevant but have a look. If it is you can always post a comment there and see if it helps you:

            You might try a different burning software. There are a ton of free one's out there. I did a quick google search and found this one http://cdburnerxp.se/ I have never used it but it "might" let you burn at a slower speed.

            Good luck,
            James
