[Bug 301481] Re: would not install

[Mike Dombrowski]

Hello Jullian!

Would you please clarify what part of the video card installation "broke
the installation"? Do you still possess any of the logs that would
indicate a specific problem?

Has this issue been solved with a later release of Ubuntu?

Best regards,
Mike

Title:
  would not install

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  I have an older version of Ubuntu, 7.1 I think.  Previously, I
  installed a new vid card, NVIDIA 7900GS and it broke the installation.
  I did not know how to fix it, so, I left it alone.  The other day, I
  decided to try again with an updated version, 8.1.  I confirmed that
  the old installation was still broken first.  I, then, tried the 8.1
  regular and it stuck partway through the installation process.  It got
  to a point where there were funny colors and patterns being displayed
  on my monitor.  The hard drive was still clicking so I left it alone.
  After the hard drive stopped operating, I tried pressing enter and tab
  and arrow keys, hoping that it was stuck and needed a simple response
  from me.  It didn't work.  I tried to to use the alternate installer
  as well with no luck.

  This is my setup:
  AMD Athlon64x2 4200
  2-WD raptors in raid 0 as boot drive
  1-160 maxtor 2nd hard drive
  WinXP

  For the 7.1 Ubuntu installation, I disconnected power to the raid
  array and installed Ubuntu on the 2nd drive.  This way, Windows would
  still maintain boot priority without asking which OS to boot into.  If
  i needed to go into Linux, I would change the boot sequence at
  startup.
