[Bug 1080701] Re: After 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' screen, raring installation hangs

[George Lynch]

I am running two systems -

Main PC has Asus F1A75-V Pro with: 
	A6-3760 processor
	16G DDR3 memory
	OS on SSD

Test unit with Asus P5KPL-C1600: 
	Intel Core2-Duo
	4G DDR2 memory
	OS on HDD

Ubuntu 1304 loaded and performs beautifully well on my P5KPL-C1600. Awesome responsiveness. It loaded whilst 12.10 was already installed. Whereas on the F1A75-V Pro machine, Ubuntu 1304 hangs on "preparing to install ubuntu", despite turning off swap.
I do not know if this will help.

Bug description:
  Test steps:
  1. Boot the machine with usb
  2. Enter the wireless password to enable the wifi connection
  3. Wait to hear the drums  and select 'Install Ubuntu' with English being the language selection
  4. Click 'Continue' with the default selections on the 'Preparing  to install ubuntu' screen( where it shows the power, available disk space and internet connectivity statu)
  5. The installation does not proceed from this point

  Workarounds:
  It has been reported within this bug that deleting extended partitions, or disabling swap, or mounting partitions "helps" to bypass the problem.

  Why is this not fixed yet:
  Well, at the moment the cause of hangs has not been determined. The best way to aid Ubuntu Installer team at fixing this bug is to provide a reproducible test case of this hang, that is is steps that one needs to perform to setup a VM / real machine that will exhibit such hang. At the moment we don't know how to trigger this bug and thus diagnose & fix it.
