We have a different installer for the Fluxbox edition now - perhaps we will be able to adapt that to the other editions
Seems like a bad CD/DVD
Did you check the md5sum? (In Windows you need a third party program for that)
Did you burn as slow as possible?
Did you try Compatibility Mode?
You find it by pressing a key while the live CD/DVD counts down

I've got the same problem - The live CD will load up, but get stuck about halfway through the loading bar. Then it displays page after page of error messages.
What gives?


**********************************
Last run in with mint - 15 minutes ago.
Inserts CD
Cd runs.
Is awed by the shininess that is Linux Mint.
Load bar loads.
Stall point of doom approaches!
Computer stalls.
*frenzied swearing*
Twiddles thumbs.
GUI is replaced by a screen full of text. Various errors, mostly composed of numbers.
Command prompt at the bottom.
Types random commands after CTRL + ALT + DEL fails, including "kill" "exit" and "quit"
text on screen replaced by "kernel panic - attempted to kill init! not syncing bla bla technogobbledegook"
*hits power button on computer in disgust.*
*posts on other computer*


In compatibility mode, the error is
'run_program: exec of program ' /lib/udev/scsi_id' failed



udevd-event[5130]: 'run_program: exec of program ' /lib/udev/scsi_id' failed


What does this mean? I'm told that running into problems in the HAL portion of a live CD can mean hardware problems.

/lib/udev/scsi_id' failed
This tells me that there is a problem with a SATA disk or controller (unless you have scsi)
Will have to check a bit more and come back to you

@ Markix
Did you try compatibility mode as suggested in my first post above (as well as the rest)
@ RestlessSoul
Did you follow the advice in said first post?
Because fail on scsi-id seems very much a bad CD to me (or faulty hardware)
We may have an alternate installer already in Gloria
