Hardware = Dell Latitude E5430 with BCM Eth & Wireless. The 13.10 Server installer hangs on the purple text screen. Switching to console 2 and inspecting syslog reveals failure to load bcm wireless firmware.
Disabling Wireless device in BIOS during prior to installation was what I did. Blacklisting the brcmsmac should do the trick too. I believe this model of laptop IS on the Ubuntu certification list, so this probably merits a little heat. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249474 Title: server install iso and netboot pxe hang in ethdetect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1249474/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
