[Bug 767795] Re: [Vostro 130] Installation freezes

[Chris Van Hoof]

@Marc -- Can you compare your Vostro 130 with the two David and AceLan
pointed to?  One is using a newer BIOS, the other an older, and both
installations worked with Natty.  The hardware profiles here look
identical, I'm wondering what is different wrt to the machine you are
testing.

Title:
  [Vostro 130] Installation freezes

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When installing by PXE boot or by usb, the installer will freeze consistently with natty (beta2 image). The installer will not freeze with the maverick image. The point at which the installer freezes does not seem to be consistent.
