ubuntu 7.04 hangs when install though lived which i got though shipit. i completed all the seven steps of install wizard. Just after that it hangs when a install doilog box appears, and the progress bar it at 15%. the caption is "scanning DISK DRIVES" and even waiting after 30 min the progress bar does not move. i have no option left then to reboot. config amd athlon 64 3000+ msi-k8mm-v 256 mb ram and rest common stuff <pre class="alt2" style="border: 1px inset ; margin: 0px; padding: 6px; overflow: auto; width: 600px; height: 338px;">Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 1958 15727603+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 1959 2945 7928077+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 2946 9729 54492480 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 2946 3467 4192933+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 3468 3524 457821 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda7 3525 6626 24916783+ b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda8 6627 9729 24924816 7 HPFS/NTFS Disk /dev/sdb: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 2 38913 312560640 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sdb5 2 38913 312560608+ 7 HPFS/NTFS </pre> Promt reply expected regards, Gary -- Regards, Gaurish Sharma
