I have the same problem installing Ubuntu on a Sony VAIO FR102 which uses the VIA KN266 chipset also.
I can only install via Wubi and then need to replace the new pata_via modules with the older via82cxxx ones (see here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/213639) in order to make it stable and stop constant freezing. Is there a way to install from a CD using the older VIA modules? -- Freeze at "copying files" stage of install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
