Ok. I got it working with the desktop alternate version. The CD boot still paused for 3-5 minutes while it tried to find a FDC, but after the text-based install it no longer does it. I suspect that the same will be true for the normal desktop install, I wasn't able to use that one because of an issue with my display. As far as the display goes, the screen= command was for a knoppix live cd and not Ubuntu. To get the display working I switched to a text terminal ctrl-alt-F1 and ran 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and manually setup my monitor.
So, try installing. The problem will likely go away after installed. -- [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
