maybe the combiniation of a perhaps flakey cdrom player and a perhaps flakey cd too, is the culprit (Yes it might works in another cdromplayer)
Why not try it on a cdrw? |

I get this error when booting:
Can't find sector size. Assuming 0800
What can it be? |

I get this error also. I tried installing 1.4 but my computer just restarts .. no error message or anything.
So I tried it with 1.2 and this error message shows up.
I googled for 'assuming 0800 linux' but the only things showing up is probably a bad disk/CD-ROM or your CD-ROM can't handle the CDR. I haven't gotten past this error yet. Butg I am going to try and find a good scan disk utility and check out my disk.
My CD-ROM is a HP CDWriter+ 7200 and my hard drive is a Seagate ST39140N.
Hopefully somebody knows what the problem is. |

Did you make sure that the CD was closed when writing the ISO image? Some CD-ROMs can read an "open" CD-R, some can't. Make sure the session is closed on the burned disk, then try it again. |
