"could not uncompress second stage ramdisk"
then it shut down automatically
what should i do?

How did you obtain the cds? through internet? If so, did you check the md5sum of all iso files?
- if you got iso-images of the internet it would be nice to download the md5sum file too (short file) and give then the following command in a terminal or console: md5sum -c the_md5sum_file_you_obtained_also
It will check the iso's and then you can be sure that you obtained the iso-images corretly.
Because the above seems to me that the cd has a problem.
