FWIW: * The 32-bit version from Quantal works * The 64-bit version from Precise works * The sizes of the initrd.gz in the main directory of the mirror seems to be a different size than the one in the netboot.tar.gz - http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz is 18314502 bytes - In http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz, the file ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz is 32723375 bytes
Is it possible the initrd.gz for the 64-bit version got corrupted somehow? -George On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 11:22 AM, George Dunlap <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 12:16 AM, Clint Byrum <[email protected]> wrote: >> Excerpts from George Dunlap's message of 2012-09-20 09:45:28 -0700: >>> I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to *actually report a >>> bug* on launchpad, and I give up. >>> >> >> Hi George.
