Confirming this issue for USB installer for both 18.04.1 and 16.04.5 on HP Compaq dc5800. The "acpi=off noapic" kernel parameter workaroud works for installing the system. And interestingly, once installed to SATA drive the system boots and behaves normally.
I'd be happy to try a new ISO or update the BIOS, for the purposes here. https://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/hp/compaq_dc5800_small_form_factor_pc_ks738pa/225069/specs/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772038 Title: ubuntu/xubuntu 18.04 kernel crash during install. Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Confirmed Bug description: I've been trying to install ubuntu 18.04, but the system crashes with a kernel panic and thus won't run. So how do I report this bug? The system passes all memory tests and runs 17.10 with no problems, but will not run 18.04 There is very little data gathering that I can do, as the system will not boot, not even into text mode. PS. This back door way of creating a bug report is very poor when dealing with systems that don't run. The steps required to reproduce this bug are: 1) download Ubuntu and/or Xubuntu 2) burn the installation image to a dvd 3) insert dvd into target computer 4) power on target computer 5) wait a couple of seconds 6) Stare at frozen screen saying Kernel panic 7) Go back to step 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1772038/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
