Public bug reported:
When trying to install feisty herd 3, the computer initially takes a
VERY long time to boot from the cd (it seems to stay at the ubuntu logo
for ages). It then successfully loads into gnome, without any sound
support (intel8x0) or wireless support (atheros/madwifi).
When i try to install feisty using the ubiquity installer on the
desktop, it gets past the section where is copies the files and installs
the packages, but fails prior to installing grub when trying to load
kernel modules.
I have seen errors about modprobe on some of the virtual terminals, and
if i try to complete one myself (either adding or removing modules), it
just sits at the prompt not doing anything.
I will try the install again now and add any other comments I can. Is
there anything in particular people would find handy to help fix this?
Note: I also experienced this when I tried herd 2... i think it might be
to do with the 2.6.20 kernel.
