Kernel Panic, Input/output while trying to boot certain Install CDs.
When trying to boot certain Distro's Install cd (like Gentoo and Arch) i get a huge list begins with "cp:" and says something with input/output error (i'm not sure what it says exactly , can't remember) and then when it stops it says kernel panic and something with input/output again. I know this isn't very descriptive but maybe someone can help.
When trying to start Mandriva, Fedora, Ubutnu, this never happens...
It wasn't a bad CD because it installed fine on another machine. i found a different version and it worked fine, it looks like it is time to upgrade the box.
