I am seeing the same thing, running Ubuntu 8.04.3 Jeos using KVM virtualization. It eats up 100% CPU, however I can hit ALT-F2 to get to a terminal.
But searching with Google for "scanning the mirror" shows there are others having this problem on non-Virtual machines. Some have reported success by unplugging the NIC cable, or, by manually fixing a DNS entry before starting the install. I'm getting this error, but the shell at ALT-F2 still lets me ping sites like Google and Yahoo. So, my network works for pings, but there is still some problem at the "scanning the mirror" phase. -- [intrepid jaunty] installation freezes on scanning the mirror https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154550 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
