I have a Ubuntu 8.10 live CD and i boot from the live CD i get some error and then my PC restarts. On reboot my PC sticks at a command prompt like window and sits there forever. The only solution is to reboot the system manually and then the problem from the first step repeats. I have this AMD computer and this Ubuntu 8.10 is i386 architecture. Can this be the problem? I checked the CD works fine and i installed Ubuntu on my Core 2 Duo machine using the same CD to check what the problem is. Please help...

I think its not the CD that is at problem. AMD processors are 64-bit or x64 capable. They also support i386 architecture. Even core 2 duo is a 64-bit processor, and it let you install ubuntu without any problem. So in this case the problem can be the CD-ROM or its connectivity cables. [Power connection and Data connection (IDE/SATA)]. Check if these things are not at problem. Try changing the CD-ROM and you might get Ubuntu working on your AMD system too...
