[Tfug] Unable to install Ubuntu Server on Intel D945GCLF

[Steve B]

Recently I decided to convert my old NAS gox from Gentoo to Unbuntu Server.
For reasons that I do not understand I cannot install 10.04 or 11.04 on it.
I've downloaded both the i386 and the AMD64 ISO images to the same machine,
burned the image on the same DVDRW drive onto the same CDRW disc but when I
try to install on the D945GCLF board, it consistently fails at the same step
- Unable to install base system.

The ISO image all indicate a good MD5 sum and I've burned the ISO image at
the slowest possible rate. I've even tried moving the image onto a USB drive
and installing from it - same error.

The D945GCLF has parallel and serial ports disabled; I'm using the SATA
drive for the OS and installing from a USB CDROM drive.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this? A google search was inconclusive.
