Re: [Bug 245794] Re: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation
So far most everyone on this topic has been able to overcome the error by removing RAM sticks and replacing them after installation completes. Also, on my PC, I successfully installed other distros as well as Windows without problem. Only Ubuntu hangs. So it seems like a bug. But possibly a bug that only appears when there is some faulty RAM. I don't know, but I'm happy the solution helps most people. Cheers.

To ArturP, So glad the solution helped you. It's a bug I hope they fix, but for now it's nice to know the temporary solution is working.

Fully agree dci-Japan. On a different matter, I wander if the imminent Ubuntu 9.10 installation process will still be have the same problem.

Re: [Bug 245794] Re: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation
Hi Julian, If you want to have another go with 9.04, before trying the installation, remove 1 of the 2 Gb or RAM stick (I assume you have 2 nearly identical sticks). After the installation, just put back the stick. I know it sounds really weird, but it worked for me and some other Ubuntu user, including the genius who have figure it out. The reason of this problem seems to be related to some difference on the memory sticks. That is, 2 identical sticks, but from different brands, must still have a small difference, which trigger this nasty problem. I leave to others, much more competent of me, to explain it and possibly find the solution. Here the page where I found the solution that worked for me: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/245794 Wish you good luck :) Giorgio My system: AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core 5000+, 4 GB ram, etc..

First of all, I've never seen such issue before (7.x, 8.x). Recently I decide to download and burn Ubuntu 9.04 (DVD), sweep old installation and install the new one from the scratch. I've burned the dvd on Verbatim DVD+R (then I've tried also Sony DVD+R too, on slow speed) - in both cases dvd image burned ok (md5 sum is ok too). I've used check disk integrity (via Ubuntu menu when you boot from the DVD) and I get *no* errors. Then I've tried to install the OS, but I've got the same error every time on the same place (34% in my case when you goes in graphical mode) and then I can't do anything than start installation from the scratch. Once I've tried to install in text mode (via text menus) and everything was ok (i.e no errors like those) but I wasn't able to configure after installation the OS to start in graphical mode (it seems too much work to do the proper settings, what I normally receive with graphical installation, so I give up and installed without any issues the old version 8.10). So, on the bottom of this story I'm pretty sure that the DVD media is burned ok (proved with text mode installation), but it seems that graphical mode installer has some glitch that prevent at some point proper installation. I really need badly that this bug will be fixed in future releases (9.10?). Maybe reading method (DVD driver) does not try to use crc1/crc2 to recover.
