Bug Description
When attempting to install Ubuntu 6.10 or 7.04 on a Dell PowerEdge 2500 server, everything works fine right up until after it's done scanning hardware. It starts loading packages from the CD and locks up on libc6-udeb. The computer is completely unresponsive. No idea what's going on here but it's obviously very much a problem when trying to install!

I left it sitting there in what I thought was this locked up state, but eventually it came up with a CD read error. The same CD works just fine in other machines, and I've verified the checksums and CD elsewhere. Checking the CD on the PowerEdge 2500 results in a real lockup at 1%.
So apparently this is some kind of weird CD-Rom problem, the best I can see.
NOTE: Ubuntu 6.04 installs without a hitch, 6.10 and 7.04 show this problem.
