Hi Hyperion and welcome.
Try this...
When you boot off the CD and it pulls up the boot menu, press F6 and add "noapic nolapic" to the end of the command that will be listed.
Not positive that will work, but I think it may help.

You didn't fall at the first hurdle, you did just what you should--write down the error message and ask for help.hyperion wrote: I realise that I have embarked on what will be a new way of thinking, but did not expect to fall over at the first hurdle!!
In my estimation, you cleared the first hurdle with room to spare..."congratulations!"..

Re: Unable to run Mint 4 from CD
Hi all
I have a problem trying to boot Mint 4 as well but with different symptoms.
It always boots into the busybox shell.
I have tried the noapic and nolapic mentined elsewhere but to know avail.
I have burnt 5 cds now, the last burnt a 4 speed
Running on Dell Latitude D820

Re: Unable to run Mint 4 from CD
i have same problem like you... so any one know that we can do?5x5 wrote:I am having this problem also. I am booting LinuxMint Daryna 4.0 Light in vmware server and getting on boot 'assuming drive cache write through: rejecting i/o to offline device; asking for cache data failed'. It goes through this scenario for sda through sdz and then winds up at the Busybox shell. I have write caching disabled in vmware so I am stumped about what to do.dbase wrote: It always boots into the busybox shell.
Re: Unable to run Mint 4 from CD (SOLVED)
The problem with the vmware starting up is because vmware uses a scsi drive. Create a non-scsi drive manually. Check out this page for some tips on doing that: http://www.linux.com/feature/54411
