Okay, thanks to the suggestion on another bug to blacklist vga16fb and nouveau, I was able to install nvidia hardware drivers and get my high resolution lcd back.
Installing using the Xubuntu image dated 2010-04-10, lucid- desktop-i386.iso, results in the same messages after the installation. There is no change in that. However, I did get several other text messages, including "checking for unattended-upgrades" after the installation completed but before the I/O Error messages filled the screen. Now testing the Ubuntu 386 image for 2010-04-10 to see if the results are different for that. -- end_request: I/O error rebooting at end of install Lucid beta https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539027 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
