Unable to boot live cd: Kernel panic!

[p10]

I have been using Linux Mint 4.0 main edition for about two months on both my laptop and desktop, and so far it has been great. Decided to try out the XFCE edition on my desktop as it is at few years old and not so powerful.

Downloaded the XFCE Community Edition BETA 008 ISO form the torrentlink on these pages. But when I try to boot it stops after I have chosen how I want the live cd to boot (normal or safe graphics mode) and the following message appairs:

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount to root fs on unknown-block(104,1)

I have tried botting on both my laptop and desktop with the same results. Could it be the ISO-image that is damaged? Or could something have gone wrong during the burning?

It could be several things, frist check the ISO with md5sum and make sure you got a clean download. Then re burn the cd disk as slow as posible for your writer, usually around 4 or 8, some burners won't burn that slow, so just as slow as it will go. Also, if your got a low end machine (meaning a legacy box), don't try and do other work while burning. That will help insure a good clean burn.

If it still does it, then it could just be a bad ISO, sometimes these developers goof, their just human like the rest of us. I've got a couple of debian disk that way, the answer to that problem is just wait a couple of weeks and try again, usually, they will fix it by then.

Tried downloading it from a different place, witout using a torrent-client.

Now it works just fine! Will test it out later tonight!
