Installation aborted / crashed

[Gordian]

Tried to install Ubuntu on my Asus Laptop.

Live-DVD is not booting except I disable ACPI, then trying to install and while copying the files, I am getting an error with the notification to post this error unter this URL (including "ubiquity", think that says the error happens there?).

I could install Ubuntu weeks ago and boot it with many tries (e.g. ACPI=off), now its neither booting nor installing.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD). Please retry your installation with new media and if it still fails I'd recommend testing your CD drive with other media. In the event that is is not in fact an error with your installation media please set the bug's status back to New. Thanks and good luck!

I tried installing with a Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 when I received this error.

Because of your advice I downloaded and burned lUbuntu 12.04 and this Live-CD didn't even boot (tried several boot options, but the selfcheck said, that the disc is OK). A friend told me about a possible bug in this media, too, so I will retry it with a lUbuntu 11.10 media and then with a Linux Mint LXDE one.

Don't know how to isolate the source of the error. I have also tried unplugging all USB-Devices from the Laptop, but I didn't see any difference.
