Text based installation from alternate-deskop-i386 CD did start correctly. Installation begun but was stopped during unpacking software with an error message about an invalid paket on the CD. A failed md5sum for "/pool/main/k/kubuntu-docs/kubuntu-docs_7.04" was reported.
After manually installing grub I could reboot and login into the konsole, where I could fix the problem by manually installing all failed packets (and more) from Internet repositories. A failed md5sum shouldn't break the entire installation process. Of course I tried to restart the software installation from the installation menu, but it fails with the same error again. BTW, I noticed IDE drives were now sd* devices. And all hard disc devices where completly re-ordered. Guess this could cause some problems when updating systems. I tried the default herd-5 desktop CD once again. No choice to boot from. I saved the install logs from text installion. If needed, I can upload them, but they contain german text. If I can do anything else to locate the problem I'll try. And I'll try the beta release, too, and update the report by time. Thanks. -- cannot install from Herd-5 cd, install does hang before it begins https://launchpad.net/bugs/94044 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
