When I boot the CD, before it gets to the graphical installer, I notice it hangs for a long time on: hda: cache flushes not supported hda:<4>hda: lost interrupt hda: lost interrupt hda: lost interrupt It eventually gets into the installer, but all the parts where it's checking hardware seem to hang forever (really, ten minutes to find the CDROM), and once I finally get to partitioning, it fails trying to make / (after hanging for literally hours and letting it run overnight). I should note that the drive is good, and this still happens after swapping it out. Ooh, now I'm getting a new one, just as I type this. No disk drive was detected. If you know the name of your disk drive... Well shit. Also, the fluxbuntu installer rolls right through without a problem. I don't even know how to start looking for an answer to this. Anyone got any tips?
