Precise 03-Mar-2012 non-pae mini.iso does not connect to any mirrors.

[Stenten]

Precise's non-pae mini.iso connects and configures my wired internet fine, and then I choose my mirror and it gives me a red screen saying I chose a bad mirror. It does this with both archive.ubuntu.com and us.archive.ubuntu.com. A snippet of syslog is below; the whole thing is attached.

I'm reporting from the same machine I tried installing on, so the hardware info is correct.

I've had the same issue; workaround is to go back to the network configuration, configure it again and off you go.
Don't ask why, but after that it work, so the problem is probably somewhere in the network configuration the first time
