Hi, I've given up on this one. My personal conclusion is that I don't use Ubuntu on old hardware or on systems with many partitions. If you install it on fresh laptotps with existing simple partition tables it works fine. I don't think your problem is specific to the HP HW.
For "difficult" systems I stick with Debian - their installer is rock solid. ihturs wrote: > Hi > I am an amateur user of Linux, and I faced the same problem of freeze at 5% . > I tried downloading the installer from the internet and booted from pen > drive, and tried the same from CD also.
