omap installation failed with unrecoverable error

[Amit Kucheria]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I was trying to install to a USB stick from the omap live image when I got a dialog box

"Installation failed. The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again"

The installation was nearing the end.

Assigning to ogra

flash-kernel is missing teh code to handle omap/uboot setup yet

[warjowuch (lulkoek)]

I tested this on the daily image from 18-04-2010, but it still gave me the error.

[Oliver Grawert (ogra)]

the image from 17-4 did not have the ubiquity and flash-kernel changes included, the image from 18-4 did not build at all due to ubuntu-netboot having been re-uploaded and not yet been published while the build was running, please try one of the next days images.

Same error with today releace of RC (Ubuntu LL 64bit). I am installing from CD on my HDD desktop PC

[warjowuch (lulkoek)]

Jep I also still got the error on RC 32-bit! Please fix before going final!

[warjowuch (lulkoek)]

Maybe important: I got the error on a pc with an onboard nVidea 6150 GPU.

[Oliver Grawert (ogra)]

please note that this bug is for the ARM omap3 architecture and talks about an issue with writing the kernel to the onboard flash chip. if you see errors on a different architecture (intel, amd, etc) please open a new bug
