  Test case type: Ubuntu Feisty X86, Desktop CD. Installation from the
  LiveCD.
  
  Image ID:  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20070111/
  
  Dowloaded and burned:  feisty-desktop-i386.iso
  
  Date of testing: 11.jan.2007
  
  Md5sum confirmed:  Yes, confirmed twice: Checked MDSUM on the command
  line before burning the CD and checked it also in the LiveCD's start
  screen.  Md5sum was Ok.
  
  Pass/Fail:  2 bad install failures.
  -----------------------------------------
  
  Error 1) The display got badly scrambled during installation from
  LiveCD.
  
  Launched the LiveCD and started installation from "Install" icon on the 
deskop.
  Moved on and 
  Selected keyboard layout "Norwegian".
  Then clicked the "Forward>" button.
  
  The entire screen got badly scrambled with white and brown lines. The
  screen was completly unreadable.
  
  I discovered that if I pressed CNTR + ALT + F1 (text console mode) and
  back to the graphical GUI with ALT + F7 then the display was updated and
  it was then perfectly OK.  And I could continue to the next step of
  installation.
  
  The LiveCD had set the screen resolution to: 1024x768 (60Hz). That's Ok.
  
  Note:  This very same error happened in Feisty Test 1 CD (some months ago).
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Error 2)  The partitioner crashed at startup.
  I continued the installation and  "Starting up the partitioer" dialog 
appeared.
  See picture 2a: http://www.futuredesktop.org/feisty-2/Install_error2a.png 
  
  It seemd to work a minute or two and then it throwed an error message. 
  See  picture 2b: http://www.futuredesktop.org/feisty-2/Install_error2b.png
  
  And then it replied: (see picture 2c):
  http://www.futuredesktop.org/feisty-2/Install_error2c.png
  
  I have earlier installed several Ubuntu 6.06 / 6.10 and other Linux-
  distributions on my /dev/sda and /dev/sdb drives. Those has always
  worked flawlessly.
  
  Here is my partitions table:
  http://www.futuredesktop.org/feisty-2/part_table.txt
  
  
  What is the best way to debug the Error 1)
  Am very able to hack the Linux and install machinery. Just give me a starting 
point !
