Public bug reported: can live cd amd64 install option be used (fresh install) successfully at this time ? I have tried it twice with no luck; the install display at 94% completion (scanning for other os step) pure and simple switches to a black screen with no messages then the pc locks.
above the question as posted on launchpad. additional info below - live cd boots and loads ok with a functional desktop including wireless conn'n (usb dongle). - first install attempt - on install routine were created just 2 new partitions, a / ext4 and swap both primary on 32 gb new usb connected cf card and on 'advanced' tab selected bootloader install on sdc1 the / part. - second install attempt - three new part created as follows: at the v beginning of hd a pri /boot created (sdc1) then a / logical sdc5 both ext4 with the bootloader install on /boot. on both attempts the install failed as described above. the file systems were found on the partitions except on /grub that was empty. didn't try grub recovery via chroot. is it possible to get grub2 installed on logical partitions ? on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 there is mention of MBR recovery only. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- karmic beta and grub2 install. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
