[Asus S6J] - Crash in the end of the install process, while detecting hardware

[Greguti]

Hi,

the crash has been repeated three times, trying to install Edgy Eft BETA on my ultra-laptop Asus S6J. Ubiquity proceeds to the installation of the files, the local and personal parameters, then, showing something like "85%" or "90%" percents of progression, it always crashed when it begins to detect the hardware.

Here is a copy of the message I get everytime, just after Ubiquity crashed.

FYI, I finally installed Dapper Drake on this computer, and everything runs smoothly with it.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 62939 (see that bug for a description of the problem) and is fixed in current Edgy.
