I was looking around at other bug reports here and I
learned that "ubiquity" may be run manually.
So this time I booted ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386 but
chose to go into the live session, rather than the
"Install Ubuntu" option. Then I started up an xterm
and issued the following command, as a response to
another bug report had suggested:
ubiquity --no-migration-assistant
Then when the GUI windows came up I gave the same
responses I reported earlier. But in the "Ready to
install" window, there was just one line for Migration
Assistant, with no following lines. Seems logical.
It then went on, with the "Installing system" window
and all its myriad details. But this time it went much
further than before. There were lots of additional
status messages which I don't remember seeing before.
And this time it went up to the full "100%" count, too.
And when I checked, /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic
had been created, as well as /boot/grub. Great news!
So I'm reporting that the new attempt booted just fine.
Whatever the problem is, it seems to be specific to the
"desktop" CDROM, and I guess the "migration assistant"
section (?) of ubiquity.
I guess that's it. Please feel free to let me know if
there is some information I can provide which will help
you. Thanks for your attention, to this problem.
