Edgy RC1 is crashing in the installation at 47%

[Hauke]

I have got a Core 2 Duo 6400 on a Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi with 2 SATA DVD-Drives and one SATA hdd, the SATA controller is in AHCI mode because it doesn't boot in IDE mode.

I am using Ubuntu Edgy Eft RC1 and it is booting from CD very well (it takes about 5 min.). Then I started installing and configured everything and when it is at 47% it stops with installing and the system hangs up or the keyboard doesn't work any more, sometime the mouse too. I did this about 10 time and every time it stops at 47%.

Probably a bad CD (not that that excuses the kernel oops)

[Hauke (hauke-m)]

I thought that too and checked the cd with the md5 codes on the cd and found no errors on it.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

I got a similar oops. Colin had the same advise. I got the .iso again, burned on a new CD, I even got a new cd drive - but similar results. The CD check was good too.

I'll do some new installs in a bit and get new logs.

[Duncan Lithgow (duncan-lithgow)]

is this related to bug #71627 ?

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Duncan: unlikely.

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached its end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.
