[Bug 253321] Re: Freeze at copying files stage of install
Aleksey1977, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Hardy desktop reached EOL on May 12, 2011. Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases We were wondering if this is still an issue on a supported release? If so, can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in a supported release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance. ** Tags added: hardy intrepid needs-upstream-testing regression-release ** Description changed: Binary package hint: ubiquity Occurs when trying to install Ubuntu from a LiveCD, for both 8.04.1 and 8.10 Alpha3. Boot from LiveCD, initiate install, choose use entire disk option. The installation proceeds as expected, until system freezes (cursor not responding, no noticeable hard-disk or CD activity) at the Copying Files stage. Almost always occurs with progress bar at 22-23%, although once I got as far as 34%. However, the installation of 7.10 from a LiveCD completes with no problems. The CDs I used were all burned at the lowest speed, and afterwards checked for defects. I have tried booting with acpi=off option, with same results.

[Bug 253321] Re: Freeze at copying files stage of install
For some reason apport-collect isn't working for me in 10.04, which is what is installed on this computer right now. I doubt logs would be useful anyway, since the computer is working now with the libata.force=2.00:pio4 boot option. To reiterate, this problem is also present on 11.04. I'm marking this as confirmed. I'm still interested in fixing this problem, as DVDs are unwatchable with the drive operating in PIO4 mode. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253321 Title: Freeze at copying files stage of install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/253321/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is still true as of Ubuntu 11.04. Installing on an Acer 1310 (VIA KN266) hangs the computer every time any time from partitioning the HDD to copying files. Adding libata.force=2.00:pio4 to boot options solves the problem and allows the system to be installed. This, I assume, is accompanied by a decrease in performance. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Expired = New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253321 Title: Freeze at copying files stage of install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/253321/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Guys, Can you try the latest Jaunty Beta release and confirm if this issue remains? It contains a newer 2.6.28 based kernel. http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/beta Please let us know your results. Thanks. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Freeze at copying files stage of install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 253321] Re: Freeze at copying files stage of install
Sounds as if this could perhaps be worked around in the kernel - it's unlikely that the installer program itself can do much about this - so reassigning there. ** Package changed: ubiquity (Ubuntu) = linux (Ubuntu) -- Freeze at copying files stage of install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 253321] Re: Freeze at copying files stage of install
I have managed to find a workaround for installation from Ubuntu 8.10 livecd: 1) Boot with break=top option 2) At BusyBox prompt, execute echo 'options libata dma=0' /etc/modprobe.d/options 3) Ctrl-D, and continue install as usual The problem was due to my CD drive, QSI SBW-242, causing occasional system freezes, when used with UDMA/33. (Actually, forcing UDMA/25 or 16 makes the freezes occur much more often). So, adding 'options libata force=2.00:pio4' instead, also worked for me. -- Freeze at copying files stage of install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same issue on Acer Aspire 1310 with Via Apollo KN266 chipset.

[Bug 253321] Re: Freeze at copying files stage of install
I have the same problem installing Ubuntu on a Sony VAIO FR102 which uses the VIA KN266 chipset also. I can only install via Wubi and then need to replace the new pata_via modules with the older via82cxxx ones (see here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/213639) in order to make it stable and stop constant freezing. Is there a way to install from a CD using the older VIA modules? -- Freeze at copying files stage of install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Still occurs for 8.10 Alpha5. Occurs when booting with all_generic_ide option, as well. -- Freeze at copying files stage of install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
