Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Ubiquity hangs indefinitely while trying to load the sk98lin (Marvell Yukon) Ethernet kernel module on my MSI K8N SLI/Platinum motherboard (with no Ethernet cable attached; I am connected via the nVidia nForce4 SLI chipset's own Ethernet port, with the forcedeth kernel module working just fine), on Feisty Herd 2.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Boot the Ubuntu Feisty Herd 2 live CD on a MSI K8N SLI/Platinum or, perhaps, another motherboard with a Marvell Yukon ethernet controller.
2) Run Ubiquity
3) Install to a random partition
4) After the copying of the data to the hard drive, Ubiquity will hang, at about 90% completed.

same here
Intel Core 2 Duo, Gigabyte p965-DS3 motherboard
At first, it stop while trying to load the sk98lin.
After I disable the onboard LAN, it stop at 90% while trying to load aec62xx IDE Controller module.

Did anyone managed to get it installed? - Same problem here, I also tried to kill this process:
root 17162 0.0 0.0 1676 536 ? S 23:15 0:00 log-output -t hw-detect modprobe -v sk98lin
and I kept killing it over an over until it installer got to 94% and froze on loading cbf something (the firewire disk driver), at which point I couldn't grep for the module being loaded and there were no processes to kill other than the installer :(
Modprobing the modules in question freezes the modprobe process with no ability to kill -9, so this looks like an issue with the kernel?

Problem is fixed for me in Herd 4. Can anyone else confirm?

You can prove Herd 4 and warn to us if your problem persists?

The problem mo longer exists on a Macbook Pro, have been able to re-install multiple time. Unsure about other machines.

I'm happy to assume that it's been fixed at this point. Thanks for re-testing. For future reference, this was indeed a kernel bug.

Fixed for me too with the March 1, 2007 daily ISO.
It hangs here on a Toshiba Portégé R200 with the Marvell 88E8053 Gigabit ethernet controller.
