Without the logs attached, we have nothing to go on.  If you have this
problem with 12.04+, it should automatically file a new bug with the
logs attached.

Title:
  Fail to install 8.04 and 8.10 on Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook E-series

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Both Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 fail to install on my Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook E8110 WB2 laptop computer. In the boot menu both memory test and CD integrity test pass. I can boot into the Ubuntu Live session. However if I try to install the system I fail at different stages in the installation process. Either of the following happens:
  1. The installation fails when copying files to the formated hard drive saying there is something wrong with the CD and suggested to re-burn the CD or clean the CD reader.
  2. The creation of the filesystem (ext3 on an 80 GB HD) fails without explanation when doing the guided partitioning.

  The process is the same on both 8.10 and 8.04. I can install latest
  Debian Etch without any problems. I will now try to install the
  alternate CD to see if it works installing this one. I will complement
  this but report with the result thereof. I have previous installed
  Ubuntu 8.04 via the Windows installer onto the windows HD without any
  problems.

  If I can be of any more assistance (like trying something out) please
  let me know.
