[Bug 1232924] Re: Saucy Beta2 installer fails on HP ML115

[Felix Oxley]

Yes,  you're right. usb-creator-gtk did crash for me right at the end
(when I made that live USB).

Today, I burnt the Ubuntu Gnome daily build (2nd Oct) and made a
bootable USB from that and it crashed again:

*** Error in `/usr/bin/python3': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x00007f23e815aed0 ***
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

syslog:

 usb-creator-gtk[8550]: segfault at 2a11000 ip 00007f23f7144a14 sp
00007ffff25091d8 error 4 in libc-2.17.so[7f23f70b2000+1be000]


But this time it didn't seem to interfere with the boot process. That is to say that my main problem remains the same since Ubuntu Gnome daily build 2nd Oct failed with the same error that I have got from all the other ISOs (whether DVD or USB):

     BusyBox v1.20.2 (Ubuntu 1:120.0-8.1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
     Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands

     (initramfs)

Title:
  Saucy Beta2 installer fails on HP ML115

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Machine HP ML 115 Gen 5
  AMD Opteron 1352 Quad core 2.1 GHz
  4GB RAM
  Disks: 1 x 160GB Sata as /boot /tmp swap /home and /
  3x 250GB Sata in mdraid Raid5 array as /data
  Current OS: Ubuntu 12.10

  1. Beta2 Cd only intermittently boots to installer (language selection)
  It seems that if I press Caps Lock a few times during the boot sequence it will manage to get to the installer screen)

  2. Running CD integrity check never completes (>1 hour)
  3. Selecting Install or Test results in the following screen:

       BusyBox v1.20.2 (Ubuntu 1:120.0-8.1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
       Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands

       (initramfs)

  
  N.B. Keyboard is non functional at this point
  (I have tried with acpi=off apicoff nodmraid)

  
  I have tried 3 different 13.10 beta2 ISOs:

  Ubuntu beta 2 - MD5 of downloaded ISO is correct
  Ubuntu Gnome Beta 2 - MD5 of downloaded ISO is correct
  Ubuntu Gnome Daily build 28th September - MD5 no longer available for checking

  also when I burnt them with Brassero I ticked the box which says
  something like "Verify after burning"

  On all 3 DVDs the installer fails to run properly on my hardware
