[Bug 568709] [NEW] 10.4 FRC installation fails

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This problem concerns the 10.4 Final Release Candidate, which I
downloaded today (10/22/10).

First I tried installing the 64 bit version, than the 32 bit version,
both from individual Live CDs, dowloaded and burned from the Ubuntu
dowload page.   ImageBurn burned the iso files to (seperate) discs, and
verified good burns.

However, when running the disk(s), the installation freezes, I believe
(not sure) when it is trying to load the linux kernel.

The Ubuntu installation screen offers 4 options:

1) Try Ubuntu without installation
2) Install
3) Checks disc for defects
4) Test Memory

The only choice that works is #4.  I ran that and tested the memory, and
it reports NO errors.

If I choose 1,2, or 3, it takes me to a screen with scrolled text, that
ends with either one of the two following lines.

On the 64 bit installation, the final line in the scrolled list of text
is:

[0.671269] [<ffffffff810141e0>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20

On the 32 bit installation it freezes at:

[0.681236] [<ffffffff818496e3>] kernel_helper+0x7/0x16

The two or three text lines, preceeding the point where it freezes, all
contain the word "kernel"

This is a new Toshiba Satellite laptop, Model # L505D-LS5004, with a 64
bit AMD Sempron processor.  2 GB memory. Only 2 months old.  Currently
has Windows 7 installed, which I want to replace. The 10.4 installation
disk is being run at "boot-up," not within Windows.
