Bug Description
I am trying to install 8.04 to a system with a Asus A8N SLi premium motherboard - AMD 64 x2 . The machine is running XP at the moment.
I have tried 8.04 (AMD64 and 386 )
I have tired Intrepid Ibex 8.10 (alpha4)
I have tried updating to the latest bios 1013.
I have tried 'all_generic_ide' , floppy off and pci=nomsi , noapic , irqpoll etc
I have changed the hard disk and the cd rom. The hard disk is the only sata disk on the board.
I get to the HH background with all packages installed ok and then a window headed install which then freezes, with some random pixels.
see attached photo
All the install seems to go OK until then, but I don't know how to get to a prompt at which I can do lspci .
Mouse is working.
I am not sure how to log the install report. If I delete quiet splash at F6 I get some reports of hardware problem whizzing by when I don't use 'all_generic_ide' .
capnahab : Thanks for your bug report. Sorry for my late answer. The bugs you get seems by far the worst I've ever seen, sorry to say it :-S .
According to your screenshot, you don't seem to use "Try ubuntu without making any changes to your computer", but "Install ubuntu". Can you try to boot "Try ubuntu without making changes to your computer? This should give you a working ubuntu environement (normally, I don't know if it will works in your case) where you should be able to mount a USB key, generate debug logs from a terminal and send them on the USB key.
The required logfiles are :
sudo lspci -nnvv > lspci-nnvv.log signature > version.log
dmesg > dmesg.log
uname -a > uname.log
cat /proc/version_
Since you boot with all_generic_ide, dmesg might not contains complete informations for bug 262944 because your use a workaround to avoid the bug.
