'morning everyone,

Firstly, respect for those who gave their lives for us today.

Now back to my email, I just installed Ubuntu 7.04...live CD ran fine,
everything said it installed ok but up reboot and choosing Ubuntu from 
the GRUB list it says...

"invalid compressed format (err=2)"

I've done some googling and maybe I was using the wrong search terms but
the only info I found was about older (IBM) machines and problems with 
burning the disk images at too higher speeds.

FYI I have an AMD 64 dual core 3700+ with 2 gigs of RAM, 2 x 250 gig
SATA HDD's

I tried reburning the ISO image at a lower speed, that didn't work. I 
would've thought if there was a problem with the compressed image I'd
get an error when the live CD boots ?

Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated

Cheers
Kai


Sounds to me like your initrd has been made bad (?) or your kernel isn't living properly in /boot. Is that all you get? What filesystem is your /boot partition residing on? 

mkinitramfs is the tool you need, look under /boot/initrd* -- if it is less than a few megs, there's something wrong.
