I'm using a Dell Inspiron 4000 and get the exact same error. I'm in the same boat as Nate, no option in bios to disable the FDC.
I'm also having problems eith corrupted display when gnome starts. I can add screen=1280x1024 to the boot options to fix it. Is there a boot option to disable the FDC? -- [feisty] installer reports I/O error dev fd0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
