Oops during install of Natty on HP ProLiant ML350 G5

[Marc Tardif]

When installing the latest Natty image:

Ubuntu-Server 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Alpha i386 (20110111)

On an HP ProLiant ML350 G5, the following Oops occurs during the "Select and install software" phase of the installation:

[ 203.515382] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffa7000 │

And, the following lines were the last that could be fetched from the installer log:

Note that this was a network install, so I'm attaching the preseed file in case this might be relevant.

Can you confirm that that is all of the kernel backtrace that was available, if more is available please could we get it into the bug.

marked incomplete per Andy's request above.

Ara, Mark - can you please respond? Also please put the priority of this bug in. Thanks, Kate

I will try again with today's build and will get back to you.

[Ara Pulido (ara)]

In today's build this server installed correctly and reported results. I will mark this as Invalid, and I will reopen in case we see this again.

I will add this system to be scheduled to be tested in our weekly testing.
