* * * I JUST HIT THIS BUG * * *

Yes, I just did it...

I have bought a new SEAGATE HDD, part number ST3500418AS. Formatted as
ext4, with / (40GB), swap (5GB), /home (220GB) and ntfs (220GB).

I installed ubuntu 10.04 and installed all updates.

Then I downloaded the ISO for 10.04.1 via Transmission bit-torrent client. 
I burned the CD with Brasero. 
Upon installation, it stuck in "Ubuntu" screen. Told it to check the CD and there were errors.

For my surprise, the ISO file MD5SUM  was mismatching in the ext4 partition.
Then I turned on Transmission again and made it "RECHECK" the file, the file got the correct MD5SUM.

I believe I have hit this bug just now, because I was using ext3 for my
home partition in my previous HDD. ext4 only for root partition. Now,
problems have arised a couple of minutes JUST AFTER a ISO download and a
fresh formatted ext4.

I would consider not marking this bug as invalid.
