Ok, then it means that 2) the Grub Error 15 you got is not a bug if you did not let grub install.
It sounds very strange to me that you can boot when you install with the alternate CD and not with the Live CD, these releases are supposed to install exactly the same files. Can you still try to look if your hard drive has some bad blocks? Same for the Live CD, can you use the "Check cd for defects" option to make sure your CD is not damaged? Also if you can reproduce the problem with busybox, can your boot your computer without "splash" and "quiet" and take a photo of your screen that shows exactly all error message you get? Thanks for keeping active on your bug report, it is really appreciated. ** Summary changed: - Cannot finish install of Hardy alpha6 + Can't boot after the installation of Hardy alpha 6 from Live CD only ** Description changed: My hardware: Dell Inspiron E1505 / 6400 laptop with 2.0 gHz Intel DuoCore 2, 2 GB RAM, ATI X1400 MobilityRadeon graphics I can run the Ubuntu Hardy alpha6 LiveCD just fine.
