Public bug reported:
I tried installing Jaunty Beta, Desktop 32-bit version using graphical
installation. I have an Intel Dual Core laptop, with Nvidia 8600GTM
graphics.
Installation appeared to proceed fine, but failed at around 80% - I
think the Xserver crashed, and the Ubuntu user was logged back in.
Research indicated this could be caused by a migration-assistant bug in
Ubiquity. Running Ubiquity from the command line with the "--no-
migration-assistant" option allowed installation to get to 90%, but
again X crashed - this time at the "Detect Hardware" stage. This leads
me to believe it might be caused by Nvidia / XOrg1.6 incompatabilities.
Because Installation failed half way through, the hard drive was left in
a non-working state - no operating system could boot since Grub was not
properly installed. The only reversion mechanism was to use an old,
working 8.10 installation disk to reinstate Grub.
