Ok,

So one more attempt at open source fails, after DS advising on to use Mandriva I download and burn the latest DVD version.

And I get the same problem I got on 2 Ubuntu versions :

When I say Install, it shows the screen loading linux kernel (goes to 100%) and then nothing a blank screen, did wait for 30 mins but nothing turned up. My DVD drive is working fine, as I am able to install windows OS, its just Linux which is having this issue exact same prob with Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 it say loading Linux kernel and then nothing but a blank screen.

Though later I was able to install Ubuntu using a pen drive, but it was avery buggy version.
 
it works fine.

did you check the media before starting the install.

Did you get any kernel panic message or message like boot failure/mount error ?
