Title:
  Ubuntu 11.10 freezes during installation on Athlon XP. Segfault in
  BusyBox while setting up apparmor.

Status in “busybox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Oneiric freezes during installation (The Release notes did not say,
  that my Athlon XP CPU was too old for Oneiric.)

  a) From Live CD: "Install Ubuntu icon" opens a new window, where I can choose the language. But it won't let me continue, only quit. No matter, which language I choose.
     When I try to start the installer again, the GUI disappears, the text console appears, with the mouse cursor on top. Cannot switch terminals with Ctrl-Alt-F1/2/3. Only Alt-SysReq-E/U/K/B possible.

  b) When I try to install from the Alternate CD:
  Everything works fine ... install basic system, enter username, configuring apt, no automatic update, configuring language-pack-en-base, tasksel additional software (none chosen) ...
  up to the point "Configuring apparmor". Then system freezes and the Shift-Lock and Scroll-Lock LEDs on the keyboard begin to flash. No Ctrl-AltF1/2/..., no Alt-SysReq-E/B/... So, unfortunately I cannot tell you anything about the logs.

  From a previous try with the Alternate CD, where I had the syslog
  console active during installation, I remember, that the final message
  was "panic. init terminated." and a BusyBox problem. I do not remember
  the exact call stack output. But if it helps, I can try to re-produce
  it. Maybe I can capture the log output via ttyS0.

  Probably this is not relevant for the problem, just to let you know: I
  ran both installs via netboot.

  CPU: Athlon XP (0.13)
  Chipset:  VIA KT400(A)/600
