Install Hangs on "Hotplug"

[WILLIAM]

I just received my free CD's in the mail. When I try to install Ubuntu on my computer it stops responging and the last line on the screen says "hotplug subsytem"

My computer is a brand new HP Pavillion s7320n Slimline Desktop PC.

Hi William,

Please can you run the md5sum intregrity check on the CD (there's an option in the boot menu) and then we can discount that.

By the way, neither the Live CD nor the Install CD can get by the "Hotplug
System" on my computer. HP Pavilion s7320n Slimline PC.

Can you confirm this against 2.6.15(dapper)?

Sorry, I don't know what you want me to do? I have always used Windows OS. I
heard Linux was an easy to use OS, When I seen an article where you could
get free CD's to try it out, I sent for them. I really would like to switch
to a different OS.

I have the "md5summer" program loaded on my Windows XP system. I know how to
use it on an ISO file, but I do not know how to use it to run the program on
a CD.

I downloaded FEDORA on one of my computers and it works real well, and I
like it. But, I have heard so much about Ubuntu, I would like to load it on
one of my other computers, but it will not let me install it, it hangs on
all my computers at "Hotplug".

Can you give me a little more detail on what you want me to do? I cannot
find a program to run on the CD except installs?

I downloaded Ubuntu 6.006 Dapper Drake, and it installed perfectly. I now have Ubuntu on my computer.

Thank-You,

It's obviously not really a duplicate

I'm just fed up of this appearing in everyone's bug lists simply due to a Malone bug that doesn't let us edit the (upstream) bit
