I did now step by step what you did. No result. But with 24-Jan-2013 Ubuntu AMD 64 Bit image and with 'nomodeset' option (because since 12.04 live system hangs with noveau drivers and my videocard) IMHO it doesn't matter.
My system config: PC MB Asus Sabertooth x58 / i7 / 12 GB Memory / 64 GB SDD and 2 TB HDD / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 Maybe you have any idea what is a problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080701 Title: After 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' screen, raring installation hangs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1080701/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
