I have made about 30 copies of the Ubuntu installation CD, but there is no way to install it on my laptop. I get a black screen with a blinking cursor or I get a /casper/vmlinuz file not found or I get Invalid or corrupt kernel image. I tried all solutions that I found but no way to install ubuntu on this laptop. I tried both 32 bit and 64 bit versions, I tried ubuntu 11, and no way to install it.

Only If I install windows first and than can I install it with wubi. But that is not an ideal solution. That is linux installed on windows.

If I install any other distributions of linux the installation works ok. So there must be some issue with ubuntu!
