[Bug 1483004] Re: installation of Ubuntu OS failed

[James Cameron]

Thanks Brian.

I'm not part of Ubuntu, but I am a developer at One Laptop per Child.
In my situation, the same problem happened without any Windows involved
at all, so I'm looking at what is common between us.

Your system logs show two SATA drives of 64 GB each, a USB CD-ROM drive,
and a multi-card slot.

My system is just a SATA drive of 320 GB, and a USB HDD of 500 GB.  The
Ubuntu installer is on the USB HDD.

Were you using the CD-ROM or the card slot for Ubuntu installer?  (I
can't quite make it out reading your logs).
