Errors during Ubuntu 13.10 installation
My computer is Lenovo g580, 4GB ram ,i3 3110m. I am trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 on my laptop along with Windows.
I have emptied a partition for this and tried installation using DVD.
Following error message appear on my start
Could not open EFIbootfallback.efl : 14 Error: variable root isn't set
Then grub appeared and I selected try or installation .Then
failure reading sector 0x69c00 from cd0" press any key.
After pressing enter
4317491 kernel panic not sync vf5 unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)
I tried Googling the problem, but couldn't find any answer and I can't understand this.
How can I fix this ?

The error seems to be due to your media is corrupted.
Try to use a different DVD or USB then reinstall it again. It maybe caused due to scratches or tearing in your DVD.

As I commented yesterday, I had the same problem wanting to do exactly the same thing. I also have the same computer model. I finally solved it.
First try using the boot-repair disk: I just burned a cd; pressed f12 while booting to load from the cd; run the boot repair; then typed in a terminal (which opens using ctl+alt+t) the command they were asking for; and the problem with the variable 'root' isn't set message went away.
However, it turned out that I had another problem with my installation. Ubuntu would not load properly. If the above solution didn't help to your problem you can try what I did next.
First, install Ubuntu 13.04 alongside your windows, you may use the Linux-Secure-Remix for this purpose (it was specially designed for this purpose). Use the OS removal utility that comes with the disk (it's in the launchpad once the disc loads) to get rid of Ubuntu 13.10. Then click on install Ubuntu.
Once you install 13.04 properly, you will find plenty of tutorials online to upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10. For example, follow this link.
I am now very comfortable using Ubuntu 13.10 and Windows 7 together.
Note: if by chance you get a problem with the wifi on Ubuntu but not on Windows, I have a solution for that too.
