[Bug 800491] [NEW] Ubiquity crashes and corrupts Windows.

[José Antonio Rey]

Public bug reported:

Hello. I have an HP quad-core AMD-64 system with 1TB HDD, 8 GB RAM, Win
7 dual-boot (trying). No matter which method I use, WUBI, Install to
HDD, Live from CD, Live from Stick, Install from stick, Install from CD:
approximately 5 minutes into either install, or session, the system
freezes, then prints out on the screen various errors, which cannot be
printed out because it is frozen. Then after booting into Windows, the
TV-tuner card has to be re-scanned to work again. Then, after about 20
tries, my boot for Windows corrupted.

The version I'm trying to install is 11.04. My Windows 7 is on its own
partition. All other previous versions have installed and ran fine.

I wrote down what I could from the error list:

    Kernel panic not syncing - fatal exception in interrupt
    PID:0, comm:kworker/0:1 Tainted G         D
    2.6.38-8 generic * 42-ubuntu

    Call trace:

    [<ffffffffa04f87cf>] ? cx23885_video_wakeup+0x2f/0x150 [cx23885]

The driver file for my TV-Tuner is cx23885 (Conexant).

Any suggestions? Thanks.
