Public bug reported:
8.04 Hardy Beta Ubuntu (several versions) (current version for
17-Apr-2008) does not install correctly on the VIA EPIA Mini-ITX PD6000E
motherboard for multiple reasons. All tests were with the i386 versions.
7.10 Gusty installs correctly without problems.
1) When trying to boot the regular desktop install from the live CD
(regular Gnome Ubuntu), the system would crash. This occurs immediately
after the point where the progress bar (shown during booting, waves back
and forth below the "Ubuntu" logo) disappears, but just before the brown
screen (which should show before the desktop fully appears) appears. I'm
not sure if this description is clear enough, but there's no text which
describes what step things are on. The essential point is that it is
just before the live CD desktop should appear. This happens consistently
at exactly the same point in the sequence (this was tested approximately
5 times). The system will either turn off, reboot, or simply freeze with
a blank screen.
2) Using the alternate install CD (Gnome Ubuntu), everything will
install except for Grub, which will not install. LILO can be installed,
but the system hangs on reboot at "[48.418762] Uniform CD-ROM driver
Revision 3.20".
3) Using the server install, Grub will also not install. LILO will
install and the system will reboot and run.
Previous versions of Ubuntu (Gnome) have installed and run on this
hardware. The system was running 7.10 previous to this. The PC is
primarily used as a test system. Just prior to this install, the system
very briefly had a version of Windows Server 2008 on it in a dual boot
configuration with 7.10 Gusty. Both OS would dual boot with this fine.
All the partitions were removed and the hard drive was completely
reformatted several times during the course of attempting to get Hardy
to install.
The PC is used for test purposes, and the drive can be wiped at any time
for further testing if necessary.
