after showing this error the system will restart,
same thing is reapeted after restart of system.

I'm not entirely sure, but it sounds like the CD got corrupted in just the wrong place. Try downloading that iso again and check the md5 sum.

i have tried all other cds also , its a system problem,but i can install win XP
 

i have tried fedaro core 2 ,3 ,4 versions of cd,s also its giving the same problem, erlier i had installed the red hat 9 ,but now redhat also giving the same problem for installation ,so i could'nt work with the linux,

I think I found the solution to your problem. Your hardware is having trouble with the ACPI power management. When the graphical install is about to begin, there will be a place where you normally just hit enter, but could also type in some options. There, enter "LINUX ACPI=OFF" without the quotes.

Hope that's right, give it a shot. I found someone else with a compaq who had the same trouble, they fixed it with this.

thank you sir, its working
 

I thank you very much for your great suggetion,
it worked ,i am very happy now ,
now i can install my linux fedora core 5,
its all because of you sir,
