    Installation hang up!

    So Im not sure exactly where to ask this, but being a "new guy" I figured this would be the spot. I just finished building a new little HTPC box and was looking to install Kubuntu( LinuxMCE ). Upon booting up I doubled checked my bios settings just to make sure everything seemed to be running smoothly, and it did. I proceeded to install, selecting to install Kubuntu from a DvD I burnt. The loading screen appeared ( Im guessing loading necessary installation files) and it ran for a few minutes, then suddenly my screen went black and started to fill with what looked like errors. The error, which was :

    " [ 163.3425256] ata1: (ir_stat 0x00000040, connection status changed)
    [ 165.1234155] ata1: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4080000 action 0x2 frozon"

    with the occasional line added in :

    "Buffer I/O error device fd0, logical block 0"

    Now given this error I powered down, double checked all my connections and rebooted to no avail. I then made the assumption a there might be a bios problem so I rechecked that, and nothing popped out at me. Checked various things such as RAM and HardDisks, and still had problems. I then spent the better part of a day trying to research this, and most people just say they did similar stuff I did and it solved their issue, managed to change a bios setting, or still haven't resolved their problem. If anyone could please help, I would much appreciate it, and thanks in advanced.

    Before I forget, sys-specs:
    Asus M2A-VM HDMI mobo
    Corsair CM2X1024-6400 RAM (x2)
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+
    Pioneer BDC-202 Blu-ray DvD-R/RW

    I would be more then happy to provide any more information needed, in hopes of solving this problem. Once again any help is appreciated.

    you might try to install, offline (disconnected) then resolve the network issues after you have a system up and running

      AMD 64 bit processor somentimes cause some problems during installation.

      Other thing: have you partitioned your hard disk?
