When I boot my computer with edubuntu CD it shows the boot screen and option screeen but after selecting any options of those available it shows the following on the screen(at lower portion):

Int14:CR2 df800000 err 00000000 EIP C020c384 C500000060 flags 00010007

Please give more details . Knowing nothing about edubuntu.

what is ur hardware?details?including gfx card too

T

2.80 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
512 kilobyte secondary memory cache
512 MB ram (DDR)
Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller

reasons can be a bad CD(media) containing live-cd or memory problem.supposing that u cant get it installed.even in some cases the hdd too got problem.

try Ubuntu "alternate" CD.
YES.Ubuntu launchpad got answers for u:

Well someone recommended using the command noapic but that did not work so when I did some research I found that if I use the command noapic acpi=off it will boot.

*answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/6407
that means when livecd first shows a CLI screen with ubuntu logo,enter below commands appended to the line

Code:

 noapic acpi=off

^ there is an option to list command mode.

Tried three different variants of linux but same result I get each time.

^ so a possible hardware problem.
btwn did u tried the way as described as above.
I urge you to post this in oss community forums like *linuxquestions.org/questions or *ubuntuforums.org

If a hardware problem is there , then Windows should also have some problems . But I haven't experienced any.Comment.

then try those boot parameters with Ubuntu booting.
