I put in the Ubuntu 7.04 amd64 beta livecd, trying to boot from it. When I choose "Start or install Ubuntu", everything goes well, it gets to the Ubuntu logo splash screen with the little orange bar moving from side to side. here it stops reading the cd, and all the activity i can notice is the orange bar moving. the screen then turns black (after about 2 minutes of splash screen) and i get a screen of information being displayed at a slow pace. it starts like this (it would be great if i could upload a photo of the screen i took):
**************************************************************************
udev-event[2113]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit
[ 157.398576] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[ 169.606020] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[ 169.606047] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
... a bit more than a screen of similar lines ...
... ending like this:
[ 260.623572] loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
[ 260.687639] squashfs: version 3.2-r2 (2007/01/15) Phillip Louger

this is where it starts reading the cd intensely and then stops doing anything. the numbers on the left are never the same.
i also tried ubuntu amd64 herd5. the same storry, except that it gets me directly to promter. it shows something like this:
**************************************************************************
udev-event[2070]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit

I should also mention that Ubuntu amd64 6.10 livecd runs with no problem.
