Comment 10 for bug 1092924

I spent some time reproducing this today. I'm using a local UTAH branch and the 20130116 build (it was the most recent that was tagged with this bug). Of the course of the day I've run the following command 14 times:

 sudo -u jenkins -i PYTHONPATH=/home/doanac/utah run_bootspeed_job.py -d -i /data/iso/ubuntu/daily-live/20130116/raring-desktop-amd64.iso acer-veriton-04

Of those 14 runs, I saw 6 fails. 1 of the failures appeared to be bug:

 https://bugs.launchpad.net/utah/+bug/1099995

The other 5 failed the same way each time. The install froze where the status showed:

 retrieving file 12 of 69

The message showing up just before that (in the 2 cases I happened to be watching) was "scanning the mirror".

At this point the system was totally locked up. I tried to send "ctrl-alt-f2" to get a CLI and poke around, but it was totally frozen.

Not sure how helpful this is yet - I guess we need to understand what's happening while retrieving this mysterious 12th file.
