I don't know how to break this to you, but you better sit down and brace yourself. You are getting read errors from
your CD, and it gets worse, I'm pretty sure that SQUASHFS error can't be good.

does it mean the mobo is most probably dead?

It means the data can not be properly read from your medium, for whatever reason.

Hi floppy
The first thing I would do is try booting another machine with that CD. If it boots, look through dmesg and check
if any errors are logged pertaining to accessing the CD. If dmesg shows CD errors or the disc doesn't boot,
re-download the ISO and be sure to verify the MD5. Install cdrtools.tcz and burn a new disc:
--- Code: ---cdrecord dev=ATA:0,0,0 speed=10 padsize=63s -pad -dao -v -eject Filename.iso
--- End code ---
To determine which dev your drive is, enter cdrecord -scanbus
Replace the 0,0,0 with your drives numbers if different. If it says it can't find the dev, try leaving out the ATA:
If the CD does boot without errors, then you have to look at the hardware. Try a different cable and CD drive.
Try the boot code libata.dma=5

If you change your mind, here are a couple of scripts that do most of the work for you, place them in your home directory.
create-nvidia-raw This script runs the nvidia script and then tracks down the files it created, placing them under
nvidia-raw/rawpackage. You may wish to comment out the last line, it forces the creation of a new xorg.conf file
overwriting the current one.

I tried to make that package. Following log error appear in nvidia-installer.log
No data are created in the rawpackage.

Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your
kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems,
for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM

Hi floppy
You of course have the compiletc extension installed, right? This package may also require that you install the
linux-headers3.0.xx-tinycore extension. If using the nvidia interface directly works better for you then just comment
out the nvidia run line in the create-nvidia-raw script. I forgot to mention that I switched to console mode first with
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace before running any of the scripts. If you run the nvidia supplied script directly, use sudo.
