Public bug reported:
Hi,
I have a new Dell Inspiron 530 that came with Ubuntu installed. It has 4 Gig of
physical memory and a 250 gig hard disk. It has some NVIDIA card and whatever
they're using for CPUs and motherboards right now. I just got it a couple of
weeks ago. For various reasons I have reinstalled version 7.10 several times
and that is what I am currently running. I downloaded the desktop "release
candidate" version of "Hardy Heron 8.04".
Here is the checksum for the file:
> md5sum ubuntu-8.04-rc-desktop-i386.iso
86dc6f4792fa5a69e73e30cd33cdfd11 ubuntu-8.04-rc-desktop-i386.iso
I have repeated the process of downloading a new file and burning an iso
9660 (or whatever it is) image to a CD twice. Once to a Read-Write disk
and once to a Write-once disk. In both cases I can boot off of the CD up
to the choice of languages, (English) and then the basic install menu.
No matter which choice I make, "Check CD" or "Run Ubuntu without
touching my computer" or whatever they are it starts with the Ubuntu
splash screen with the orange bar oscillating back and forth. After
about 15 seconds it apparently crashes to (approximation):
BugBox V1.1.3
Debian 1:1.1.3
built in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of commands
and a prompt that looks like:
(INITRAMFS)
After a minute or two I get error messages
[110.190986] ata1.00: revalidation failed errno=-5
And then quickly some information as it reboots that I couldn't write
down.
Once I remove the CD and it reboots it comes up with 7.10 just fine like no
damage has been done.
If there's any information that I can get for you let me know. I didn't find
any files in /var/log/dist-upgrade.
