I think the following might be worth trying, if only to see if more info is given on going round or breaking out of the loop described below; and for the same reason (the loooping you can get it to do), I'm not sure about renaming bug to 'freezes during xsplash' because:
I have found that if I break out of the appaarent freeze or attempt a clean shutdown, the system hasn't totally frozen... but the install can go in a loop of.... 1/ attempt shutdown or close of install; 2/ busy icon goes back to the xsplash uubuntu spotlight; 3/ busy icon reappears; 4/ install apparently (only the install has stuck, the pooter is still able to deal with interrupts) appears to freeze again with no further HDD activity; 5/ start from [1] again... etc. ["SuperEngineer"] -- ubuntu 9.10 won't install on dell dimension e520 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478547 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
