[Bug 988263] Re: Installation fails without further explanation at "Select and install software"

[Lars Noodén]

Yes.  I had even tried switching CDs.  One of them was even brand new.
The image checksum was ok and the burn verified, so maybe the optical
drive was overheated.  They work ok today.  Yesterday, I had done the
Alternate *after* running all four Desktop tests, they use the optical
drive intensively.  Also even though the machine seems to run a little
hot under Linux, the fan does not run fast.  Maybe those factors
combined made for failure.

Title:
  Installation fails without further explanation at "Select and install
  software"

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The installation appears to progress normally but fails at the step
  "select and install software"

  1. Download Alternate amd+mac image: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/214/builds/15994/testcases
  2. Verify md5 sums
  3. Burn to CD-RW
  4. Verify burn
  5. Progress through installation

  I have tried with two different media.  The Desktop image from the
  same time installs just fine, so did earlier Alternate images.
