I wish to confirm the above. Some weeks ago I was trying to install 8.10 from the amd64 dvd iso (which was checked against the md5sum) on my HP Compaq nx6115 notebook (AMD Turion based). At the last stage of install, the installation would abort with an error on each attempt. The notebook already has winxp and Hardy installed on other partitions. 8.10 would have been the 3rd OS.
I tried also not installing the boot loader and configured the menu.lst file in the Hardy boot partition to include the Intrepid OS. At boot time, Grub would show Error 15 (file not found). I realized that the root partition of the Intrepid install had symbolic link called initrd.img which was broken in that the file it pointed to had not been installed at all. I gave up after these attempts until I came across this post yesterday. I tried ubiquity with the --debug and --no-migration-assistant flag and the install worked. It installed its boot loader which I changed to include the Hardy partition as well. Without these options, ubiquity crashed. Hope that this helps sort out this issue and thanks in advance -- ubiquity crash, no initrd.img -- 8.10 desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309748 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
