Bug Description
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] [<ffffffff81014
On the 32 bit installation it freezes at:
[0.681236] [<ffffffff81849
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.

After searching around, I discovered that I could install with the acpi=off option checked. incompatibility between the Toshiba 505D acpi settings and the Linux kernel.
The, as yet, unresolved problem, is the conflict/
This bug should be moved to Toshiba ACPI problems.
