I had this issue on my testmachine as well, apparently dholbach was bitten by it too. The CD is reported to be all right by the cdrom check. I wonder if this is hardware dependant?
My ide controllers are: 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) IDE Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller AHCI (rev 02) I will also attach my syslog log from the failed install (sorry, I was not able to recover more then everything started to fall appart in my livefs environemnt). ** Attachment added: "Syslog of the failed install" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4934000/syslog -- Ubuntu 6.10 Desktop for i386 installation crashes on zlib_inflate_codes https://launchpad.net/bugs/66779 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
