HI,

It doesn't matter how I do it; the install CD will NOT boot past a certain point.

It doesn't matter how I select the CD, either.

If it gets far enough, it'll freeze at an error message stating something like "cannot activate rtc".

I've tried various versions of Ubuntu and Fedora, and they all do the same thing.

I also tried a bunch of different methods for burning the disks. All acted the same way.

I am stumped!
