Same problem as of today. Both i386 and amd64 versions. I'm assuming that everyone reporting this problem doesn't have a floppy drive. I got rid of the:
udev-event[2113]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit by disabling the floppy drive in my BIOS. But unfortunately the installer didn't take the hint and I still got the: [ 157.398576] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 [ 169.606020] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 [ 169.606047] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 -- Ubuntu 7.04 amd64 beta halts when booting the live cd https://launchpad.net/bugs/95533 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
