I finally got Intrepid installed. The solution was to search the attic for an old CD-ROM drive from 1999 and use it during installation.
The failing drive is: - Sony NEC Optiarc Inc DVD/CD Rewritable Drive Model no. AD-7173A The working solution: - Really old LG CD-ROM drive - Alternative install CD (to enable SW RAID1 and LVM) Just for the record, I did not try any other working combinations of HW and install CDs. -- Alpha-5 alternate installer fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
