i had same problem. i fixed it by changing CD (DVD) drive. DVD which had marks of "Sony Nec Optiarc" failed installing @ ~ 77% (sorry, i have no more details on CD cause it's barebone system)
old CD-R/RW drive SONY (CRX230AD) works ok. CD was same. other hardware same. Ubuntu 9.10 alternative. ps: as i see here sony-optiarc dvd and ubuntu 9.x install fails pps: support is looking kinda ugly, cause problem is about half year old =( but i'm still with ubuntu -- Alternate install fails requesting same disc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360460 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
