The two installs that I refer to in comment 21 were both from the LiveCD disk. One was in "try ubuntu without making changes to your system" mode, and the second was in "install ubuntu" mode. The alternate CD had no problem installing.
I should note, after the install from the live desktop, I did get the corrupted Ubuntu graphic and text. But that was the only error, and the system then booted into a useable operating system. -- Can't boot after the installation of Hardy alpha 6 from Live CD only https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199681 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
