Can you run the installer again from a terminal window with the --debug option and attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/debug to this bug report? Would it be possible for you to try this with the beta release (http://releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/) instead of Herd 5?
Detailed instructions on attaching debug logs can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs Thanks! ** Changed in: migration-assistant (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Evan Dandrea Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- Installer hangs at "Migrate" on eMachines w3080 w/XP on 2nd HD https://launchpad.net/bugs/96083 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
