I am having the exact same problem with a AMD XP3700 64 on an ASUS AV8-MX MoBo. I am new to Linux, and have no idea what to do. I assume the drivers for the Via K8M800 chipset are not included in the distro. It is a DVD with both the 32 and 64 bit versions on it, but at no time did I see a selection as to which version to load. It just keeps saying it cannot find the installation CD, or cannot mount the CD-ROM. But of course it is not a CD, but a DVD, and I see no choices for loading with a DVD-ROM.
I tried faking my way thru it's manual installation, but it could never find the install DVD, and was asking for parameters for various drivers that I attempted to load, but I have no idea what
parameters it needs, or how to set them. I guess I am screwed. LOL
I installed it on a XP2600 system with an ECS K7VTA3 mobo (running at XP2900) today, and things went smooth as silk. Runs great and looks great.
I need some info if anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Remember, I am a TOTAL newb to Linux, and have no command line knowledge or experience, nor do I really want to get into that aspect of Linux. I just want a more stable OS.
