[Bug 993242] Re: 12.04 Alternate AMD64 freezes on language selection

[davidr]

May I ask why this bug has been designated to expire?

Only five of us may have reported it _here_ but that does not mean there
is not a bug: others may just use PS/2 keyboards to install for example.
And the Logitech keyboard and behaviour and correct MD5Sums and the same
hardware performing perfectly OK with other alternate versions is simply
not overcoming the problem.

It's a slap in the face unless you can explain why it is happening that
is _our_ hardware fault.

Title:
  12.04 Alternate AMD64 freezes on language selection

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

Bug description:
  UBUNTU 12.04 AMD 64 BIT ALTERNATE

  quad and six core AMD Phenom II
  LOGITECH WIRELESS K520 KEYBOARD
  NOTE: all equipment has loaded previous Ubuntu desktop and alternative systems without problems

  PROBLEM:
  Using the 12.04 ALTERNATE AMD64 iso, the installation freezes at selecting Language.
  It installs OK with:
  1. desktop version
  2.  a PS/2 keyboard.

  Other wireless keyboards not tried (I only have logitech which, as I
  say, have worked previously).

  SUGGESTIVE OF a wireless keyboard driver not being installed before
  the start of the install when using the AMD64 alternate install - as
  the keyboard works fine until selecting Language.

  No reports can be submitted as obviously none are generated.

  The alternate version is required to install 12.04 on my business
  computers.
