Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

This error occured when attempting an install from a USB pen drive created from the ISO. The pen drive was created on Ubuntu 9.04. I selected install from the boot menu. Ubuntu loaded but install never started. It installed without problem on a Dell Latitude D520 Laptop. The machine that the error occurs on is a Dell Precision 670.
