My system fell over recently (I updated Arch Linux, and the update caused
the machine to crash), and I decided to rebuild it using Ubuntu 9.10

I have to use a SATA DVD, as I suspect my IDE DVD drive has died? I have
set up BIOS accordingly.

When I try to install, the screen gets as far as setting up network time,
and then "checking for file system", and the screen starts blinking, and
that is as far as I can get.

Are you trying to install using the standard desktop CD? If so, you may
want to try installing with the alternate CD, to see if that works
right.

Also, what kind of graphics card are you using? I've had issues like
this occasionally with builtins, but usually the graphical installer
won't start at all.

sorry I can't help more.
