[Bug 920035] Re: Precise alternate (and therefore LTSP) install fails

[Dave Gilbert]

Mark,  can you explain a bit more about what you mean by 'stalling'?

Some things to try :

  1) Does the caps lock light go on/off when you press the key?
  2) Can you get a console from ctrl-alt-f1 or f2 ?
    If you can:
     a) what is shown at the end of dmesg?
     
Dave

Title:
  Precise alternate (and therefore LTSP) install fails

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

Bug description:
  On socket 775 and 1155 motherboards, Precise i386 intermittently fails
  to install from alternate CD.

  Machine is not locked up, but merely stalled and some information is
  available by pressing Ctrl Alt F4.

  Gigabyte G31-M, and Foxconn, both 775 motherboards, install stops
  after inputting hostname. Ctrl Alt F4 information shows no errors. The
  last things to be on the screen are several successes with these at
  the end:

  DEBUG: Writing DHCP stanza for eth0
  DEBUG: Success!

  (Bug report rewritten after further testing with Precise final and
  Quantal Daily 12/8/12)
