8.10 problem, please help!
Ok, everyone knew this would happen, so here I am.
I get the following error when I want to install:
[ 1.805682] ACPI: Aborted because invalid compressed format (err=1).
[ 6.664407] invalid compressed format (err=1)
[ 6.846994] Kernal panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)
I'm trying to load it on a 17" touch panel PC, running a via eden 500mhz processor, 1 gb ram and using a 4gb industrial CF card as storage.
Any help would be great....

It works on two other machines? So I don't think thats the problem, but I'll try a new one. Thank you.
Im not sure which arguments it is but as it wants to boot you can choose install arguments. Then there are items you can disable.
When you boot, you press F6 or whatever to add to boot options. Add (to the already long list) the following:
Code:acpi=off nolapic all_generic_ide
From the live cd? I'm installing a older alternate now seems ok, 58%
When you boot and it gives you the options to boot the live distro, boot from first hard drive, etc.
Ok, thanks, I'll try that a bit later.
Ok, it seems to load now, but the screen just goes blank? How do I add my screen drivers to the cd? or to the install, before I start the os?
*BUMP*
If I start using the "safe graphics mode" it works fine, so it must be driver related then?
Good morning DDV, yes it is a drivers problem. What did you end up installing?
Top of the morning to ya Lino, anything I install has the same problem, I run the live cd and all is well in safe graphics mode, how do I add the drivers to the install?
Ok so you can boot into safe mode. I presume after it is installed, do you have a driver for the device? If so what does it say (or called)
No I boot safe from live cd, can I also boot safe after install? If so how?
Will the 8.04 driver work? I'm downloading it now
