For the linix GURUS

i have been trying to install UBUNTU 7.04 on my dual 3000 amd box, it ran windows 2k fine

the issue is i keep getting segfaults i know they are ram related, so i ran a ram test all is well, i also swaped out ram, tested it again all is well

any thoughts??

yes, correct speed for mobo, correct ram, and yes to any hardware related questions

Segmentation faults would tend to be software related in this case, not hardware. Screenshots of this in action and the situation under which it occurred would be helpful.

Is this x86, x64? Did it install correctly?

this is x86 32, i d/l'd the 6.06.11 LTL and burned it, it installed fine, i am going to guess, the hardware issue was my burner i was using, on my main box, i suspected i needed another burner as i probably have 5k disk's through it

but this was just a pain, took me 24 hours for it to install it was the installer package segfaulting, then blowing up, then saying you lose

thanks Tony

wow, How old is it, Burners are relativialy cheap now days though

it is christmas of 05, i blow through drives, this is why i buy high end drives, they last longer than others, i have Pioneer DVR-110D drives

great drives ill tell you, i clean them every week, keep them running, and check firmware updates, which pioneer just keeps adding, i just updated from 1.37 to 1.41 and they speed up burning

So do you sitll have a 6.x.x installation? If so, you can just change your /etc/apt/sources.list to find Dapper packages and the run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' or something (been using RedHat/CentOS/BSD's almost exclusively lately.)

Segfaults are, obviously, a very bad thing,

Did you check to make sure that your installation media was good? Usually the installer will have an option to do so.
