[Bug 1232924] Re: Saucy Beta2 installer fails on HP ML115

[Quinn Balazs]

That's the most up to date one that I've gotten to work, and due to it's
proximity to Beta2, it should include the same functionality.  Generally
with the daily builds, by this time any glaring issues have already been
reported, and I haven't seen any with this one, so If you'd like to be
more or less up to date, that's what I'd use, and is what I've updated
everything under my control to.

Title:
  Saucy Beta2 installer fails on HP ML115

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Machine HP ML 115 Gen 5
  AMD Opteron 1352 Quad core 2.1 GHz
  4GB RAM
  Disks: 1 x 160GB Sata as /boot /tmp swap /home and /
  3x 250GB Sata in mdraid Raid5 array as /data
  Current OS: Ubuntu 12.10

  1. Beta2 Cd only intermittently boots to installer (language selection)
  It seems that if I press Caps Lock a few times during the boot sequence it will manage to get to the installer screen)

  2. Running CD integrity check never completes (>1 hour)
  3. Selecting Install or Test results in the following screen:

       BusyBox v1.20.2 (Ubuntu 1:120.0-8.1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
       Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands

       (initramfs)

  
  N.B. Keyboard is non functional at this point
  (I have tried with acpi=off apicoff nodmraid)

  
  I have tried 3 different 13.10 beta2 ISOs:

  Ubuntu beta 2 - MD5 of downloaded ISO is correct
  Ubuntu Gnome Beta 2 - MD5 of downloaded ISO is correct
  Ubuntu Gnome Daily build 28th September - MD5 no longer available for checking

  also when I burnt them with Brassero I ticked the box which says
  something like "Verify after burning"

  On all 3 DVDs the installer fails to run properly on my hardware
