I encountered this problem when trying to install feisty on a HP Pavilion 540n desktop, after basically pulling my hair out, swearing and throwing things for a while I found a fix:
Add "all_generic_ide" (without the quotes) to the end of the boot string. (F6 at the install menu) Problem solved. -- [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
