Update - I've just installed the 64-bit version twice in a row, so my cdrom drive is fine.
** Description changed: - When trying to install Kubuntu Jaunty Alpha 4, the installer fails part - way through saying it thinks the CD drive is faulty or the CD is worn - out. On the console there are hundreds of I/O errors. The machine is a - Sony VAIO NGN-FZ31M. I have also seen exactly the same behaviour on - another VAIO with the Ubuntu 8.10 install. + When trying to install Kubuntu Jaunty Alpha 4, (32 bit) the installer + fails part way through saying it thinks the CD drive is faulty or the CD + is worn out.

This is not a faulty CDROM drive. It reads every CD I put in it, and I have successfully installed Mandriva, Windows Vista, Debian, Ubuntu 8.10, and Fedora *this week* using this drive. Only with the 9.04 CD do I see these errors, and I have reburned the CD 4 times at low speed on a very reliable CD writer. I don't know how to investigate but as this is the second time I've encountered this problem, on 2 different machines, and it only happens with (k)ubuntu I am certain it is not a hardware fault. Let me know what information you require and I will do my best to help track it down. -- Continual I/O errors when installing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327978 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
