[Bug 985066] Re: Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 installer fails when copying files

[Jerry Lusk]

I have the same problem.  I have installed 12.04LTS many times and by
various means.  CD and USB with the exact same results.  ASUS A7V8X-MX
main board, 120 GB hard drive, Athalon 2600 processor, and 1 gig of
memory.  I tried to upgrade 11.10, Failed.  New install 12.04 failed.  I
reinstalled 11.10 and it works fine.  12.04 will run if you run it from
the CD or USB without installing it.

Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 installer fails when copying files

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This bug was found on a generic 1.3GHz Celeron PC with 512MB RAM using
  an Ubuntu 12.04 beta CDR. It used to be my main PC - it worked OK then
  and worked with earlier releases of Ubuntu Linux.

  When installing this version of Linux, the installer comes to a halt
  with this message:-

  Installer failed.
  The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again.

  Story so far:-
  * Took 2 attempts to burn the CDR (1st disk was a cheap disk, 2nd was a Samsung disk).
  * 1st attempt to install got the above mentioned error message.
  * Rebooted and used the option to check the files on the CDR were OK. Test passed successfully.
  * Tried install - same result as the first attempt.
  * Rebooted & used the memtest86 option. Test passed successfully.
