Alright, I may have a solution.
I have an acer extensa 4420 - 5237
I originally couldn't get 7.10 installed on the laptop.
With help Iwas able to solve it in my post on ubuntu forums
Its a combo of the ati x1250 driver and the wireless NIC.

There seem to be at least two bugs being discussed and reported in this
thread. My original posting was on a failure for hardy alpha4 to
install (it could not comple te the initial installation steps prior to
starting the install dialog under i386). The reported messages on the
lack of the

Just installed Alpha 6 and found the same issue.
Blacklisted b43 and ssb and commented out the blacklist for bcm43xx made the
bcm43xx to load.
That did not let me install firmware from the restricted driver manager. How
can I install the firmware manually for bcm43xx.

I'm afraid this is not a forum, but I would recommend following the
procedure described here:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-bcm43xx. Check the rights
of the /lib/b43 (or any similar) directory.

I have a similar problem on a Compaq R400. I'm running the 32 bit

johnwren - I gather that an i386 image works fine but an amd64 image
fails to boot - is that correct? It would also be helpful if you could
add the full output of 'lspci -vvnn' as an attachment to your bug
report. It doesn't matter whether you do this from Gutsy or Hardy.
Thanks in advance.

I have not tried an i86_64 version of hardy. All of the testing I have
done is with the i386 image. Here is the output of the 'lspci -vvnn'
done under the gutsy i386 install disk. So the i386 image does not
install, and I have no information about the amd64. (The amd64 gutsy

From the sound of things it isn't even really getting as far as the
installer. I think this is probably a kernel bug, although it could also
be a problem with desktop initialisation depending on exactly when it
hangs.
Shame I can't seem to reproduce this myself ...

Same thing happened to me on ubuntu 8.04 alpha 5. Dell XPS laptop with Wireless

I was running alpha 5 just fine. (wireless didnt' work for some reason showed

I ran updates (wired update) and then now it won't boot.
Brian,
The problem with alpha 4 (and 5) was that the live install CD never really
comes up. It starts just fine, and runs on my Dell D531 laptop (2GB mem, dual
AMD processors) for about 2-3 minutes, then starts looping with the error. I
have waited up to 15 minutes for it to complete the

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. It isn't clear to me when all of you experience this
bug. Is it when booting the Live CD or are you able to get to the
desktop environment and then you encounter this? Thanks in advance.
** Changed in: ubiquity
I am similarly confused. I have a b43 system and this doesn't seem to
prevent the installer from starting (although I haven't tried a full
installation run on this system recently).
