Cannot get beyond Welcome screen, "invalid argument"

[doug.robinson]

New to Linux, got the bootable USB, starts up and shows welcome screen (4.4 64 bit).  Shows Automatic boot in 10 seconds, counts down to 1, then flashes a message on the screen too fast to read but I can make out something about Invalid Argument, and then returns to Automatic boot in 10 seconds.  Trying safe mode, I can see casper vmlinuz failed, invalid argument.  Same message for Check Install media and Install Now.  What am I doing wrong?

Hi Jerry!

It is a Toshiba NB100 netbook, Intel Atom CPU N270, 1 gig ram, Intel 945 chipset video, currently running Windows XP. 

I looked up the N270 processor and looks like it is 32 bit.  Hmmm... 64 bit OS, 32 bit processor... I may have answered my own question.

Solved... Duh!  32 bit processor.  Downloaded 3.8 and all is good.  Thank you Jerry!
