Hi there. Well, I was looking around on the internet for a Linux Distro to install on my Compaq Presario 5000 to get rid of the aging Windows ME. Ok, so I burned the AntiX CD, and got it to boot. I installed it on my computer, and now when I boot, it goes through its normal thing, and then I get this:
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000
And then it is blank under that. I installed over it again, deleting the partition, and installing it thinking I just did something wrong, but now I'm not so sure. It did it again after the 2nd install. Any suggestions?

Did you Md5sum the downloaded ISO? Also if using a CDRW Disk. I've noticed some older Cdroms don't play well with CDRW Cds.
If none of the above

Doing a Google(request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000) gave some interesting results including a link to a kernel patch to solve this problem by"fixing acpi".

lists"cheatcodes" you can enter in the Grub screen to try to fix problems like this. They say to try using the following cheatcodes if you are having trouble reading (booting from?) a CD or DVD:
I think you should also try using the"noacpi" cheatcode.

Like BitJam said, when GRUB's menu is on the screen, hit 'e' and you'll be on edit mode, then add the cheatcode at the end of the 'kernel' line (you can add one at a time so you know which one works) then hit 'b' to boot.
When you find which one works then edit /boot/grub/menu.list adding it permanently to the kernel line (Control center > System > Edit Config Files will open that file for editing).
