Bug Description

Binary package hint: base-installer

I picked a DVD ISO of Feisty (i386), can't remember which one, either Herd3, or a daily build a few days later.

Problem : when I run the text installer, it hangs after a few steps. More precisely, I answer the language, K/B layout etc, then I see "Detecting hardware to find CDROM devices", IIRC. This appears to succeed, then the dialog disappears, so I expect the next dialog/phase to come up, but nothing happens, it hangs there.
Out of curiosity I switched to a virtual console, and found "kernel not found" messages filling the screen over and over. HTH...

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 76341; Herd 4 should be happier.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
