Public bug reported: When trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop, the installation crashes giving me the message:
The installer encoutered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno 30]Read-only file system: '/target/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic' This is often due to a faulty hard disk. It may help to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment.
