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
