[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

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
