Unable to boot a live CD

[Dvir Volk]

Hi all,
I got an lod LG tablet (LT20), and I'm trying to install linux (tried ubuntu
and fedora) on it.
The thing is I can't even get the live CD of both installations to even boot
properly.
After choosing to install or load the live CD (from the CD's boot menu), I
get the following kernel panic:

invalid compressed format (err=1)
kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
uknown-block(8,1)

The machine has a single (working) HDD, and the install is running from
either a USB DOK or DVD.

Any ideas?
