Ubuntu Lucid installer encounters unrecoverable error on IBM T40

[Uwe Geuder]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Using the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit Desktop CD on an IBM T40 laptop.

The first message is "the installer encountered an unrecoverable error" (see attached photo)

I will set this report to incomplete until I have run apport-collect in the LiveCD environment.

Further notes:

1. Installation succeeds when started from the LiveCD desktop
2. The Kubuntu 10.04 LTS beta2 CD did not have this issue on the same machine.

The "unrecoverable error" is 100% repeatable.

If you need lspci or similar HW info, you can refer to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575140 (That is a complety different Kubuntu bug, but it's the same machine, so all HW info is applicable)

The problem does no longer occur with the Ubuntu 10.04.1 32 bit Desktop LiveCD. (It is still repeatable with the 10.04 LiveCD)
