Try to reburn the disk and test it again. I've had that issue before,

Alright though I'm guessing it's the drive - while installing Lubuntu I got *multiple* package corruption errors...

dang... it's not the CD. Unless it's the DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive I used to burn it, which I doubt. I burned a new CD from the ISO at 12X instead of 32X, and the problem persists.

What did I screw up this time, while putting the Proteva together? Is it that little CD_AUDIO header, screwing stuff up?

Ah well I can trash this old CD-ROM drive probably. I've got a couple I could replace it with.

That CD_AUDIO header has nothing to do with data throughput, it just pushes audio directly to a sound card (created back in the day where the computational cost to play a CD was quite a bit)

Well okay, but actually during my rebuilding of the Proteva I moved the optical drive from the lower bay to the upper one. I must have messed something up... but I didn't change any jumpers or... maybe I failed at putting in the ribbon cable. I'll double check that it isn't backwards or upside down -_-
