I encounterd the same problem with an machine w/ a broken disk. The machine seems to hang when EVMS starts loading. But it did continue, but very very slowly. There where numerous I/O errors printed on the screen.
Some posible solutions: * Let EVMS detecting stop after the first I/O error * a no-evms or do-not-probe-disks option at the bootloader * detect broken disks using smartmontools and blacklist them This was using the 6.06.1 LiveCD for x86 on a HP Compaq notebook. The disk contained 1 NTFS partition. -- LiveCD(Flight 6) Hangs because of broken harddrive(s) https://launchpad.net/bugs/38258 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
