[Bug 815852] Re: Installing ubuntu server on HP Proliant Microserver fails with LVM

[James fry]

I have just purchased a HP Proliant Microserver N36L. I used unetbootin
to create a bootable USB install drive, and successfully installed
Ubuntu Server 11.04 x64 on it with no problems at all. This is the
1.3ghz AMD server that ships with 1GB RAM and 250GB drive. My machine
has 4GB of RAM.

I had less luck with 10.04LTS (my preferred choice). Initially, by
booting from the USB install drive the installer failed to find the
install media. By burning the ISO to the USB stick as well, I was able
to symlink /dev/sr0 to the iso, and then mount the /dev/sr0 to /cdrom
and continue installing that way. However, when it came to select and
install packages the installer complained about not being able to find
package lists.

11.04 is working fine anyway here on that hardware.

  Installing ubuntu server on HP Proliant Microserver fails with LVM

Bug description:
  I tried several times to install Ubuntu Server 11.04 x64 on an HP
  Proliant Microserver N36L. The install was from a bootable usb drive.

  The install would always result in an unbootable machine unless I
  selected "without LVM" in the partitioning phase.
