However, I am getting BTX error as below: Building the boot loader arguments Looking up /BOOT/LOADER.. Found relocating the loader and the BTX Starting the BTX loader BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 Consoles: internal video/keyboard int=0000000d err=00000000 efl=00030206 eip=00002937 eax=00008001 ebx=00000700 ecx=00000000 edx=0000009f esi=00000b3c edi=00000000 ebp=00000000 esp=000003d2 cs=f000 ds=48ae es=4892 fs=0000 gs=0000 ss=9dbb cs=eip=2e 0f 01 16 58 2b 0f 20-c0 0c 01 0f 22 c0 b8 30 00 8e c0 0f 20 c0 24 fe-0f 22 c0 eb 00 66 58 c3 ss:esp=01 80 00 00 20 28 00 00-00 00 3c 0b 00 00 00 00 00 00 f8 03 00 00 00 07-00 00 9f 00 00 00 00 00 BTX halted I have verified my CD built from iso image (tried both i386 and AMD64 ) and could not figure out what the problem is. I have also disable all unrelated BIOS setting but still no luck. Hope someone will be able to help out. FYI, my system is: Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+ Memory: 1GB, Single Channel, 64-Bit, 2T Main Board: Abit NF-M2P Bios: v6.00PG NVMM: 4.071.0302/02/07 80GB Hard-drive. Thanks. Regards, Felix #################################################################### I was having this issue too a while back. I replaced the CD-ROM with a new CD-ROM/DVD drive and now it works ok.
