Doctor K (kristian-phunkit) wrote on 2006-12-04: Re: Installer Crashed (more info)

Wow, this was a while ago now, so I'm not too sure exactly what happened. I'm also shocked at myself, it's not like me to log a bug report and give little info to go with it. I suspect some of the information that I originally reported may have got lost somehow, probably at my end, my bad.

Well anyway, best I can remember: I was trying to install Kubuntu onto my laptop, but gave up after a few failed attempts, with this error occurring on my last attempt. It occurred about midway through the install process while it was copying data and setting up the file system.

On this occasion, I used an installation CD I made from a downloaded ISO of Kubuntu 6.06 i386 (earlier installation attempts were made using 5.10 i386). I did use FSUM to check the ISOs were downloaded correctly before making my CDs.

The laptop is an HP NX6125 ER667PA, not the best out there, but definitely one of the cheapest, which I imagine would make it quite popular. The laptop came with WinXP Home pre-installed. I first formatted the HDD and installed my own copy of WinXP Pro, then later I successfully installed OpenSUSE SLICK (from Linux Format mag issue 78) as a secondary OS (my first experience with Linux, hoorah!). Then after hearing such wonderous things about Ubuntu (and wanting to stick with KDE) I decided to uninstall OpenSUSE and try out Kubuntu.

Since my failed attempts to install Kubuntu, I have since reinstalled OpenSUSE as a secondary OS, but would eventually like to try some form of Ubuntu again as OpenSUSE hasn't been much use to me.

I hope this information has helped in some way. Sorry for my long-winded wording.

Although the errors seem to be to do with an input device, it's worth trying the alternate Kubuntu iso for your laptop. This is available at:

(All necessary information appears to be supplied. For the purposes of this bug, it is not necessary to know whether the alternate install CD works.)
