Hi, I cannot attach anything yet as the system is: a. not installed, due to the installer crash, and b. is therefore not on the network.
I have advanced some, but Ubuntu does not want to be installed. My HW is an IBM Thinkpad R50e. It has an external Western Digital HD attached (USB2). Initially I tried to install on that drive, but that gave me the installer crash. The installer did however create partitions on that external HD!! I then decided maybe it was the external HD that Ubuntu did not like, but I have also heard that for these drives one should modify the system BIOS for some USB2 options. Wish I knew which ones and what for. I then created some room on the internal PC harddrive and created a EXT3 partition. Started an Ubuntu re-install. The installer now gave me hell as I had not told it where to put a SWAP partition. So added that an reinstalled. I can specify where to install but the installer invariably ends with the message: unable to install file system. Something in Windows (XP-SP2) may well interfere with things, but I have installed other distro's before (Mandrake and Suse 9) and never had any problems installing on a system with Windows XP on it. I am giving up on Ubuntu, I think......
