Excuse me guys, I'm having the truble while I try to install Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (Desktop Edition -DVDROM) 7.04 on Laptop, Compaq Presario C700, and having the tty error during the install, some of the solutions are related to fix it previous the installating, which I can't do, other are related to open the machine and disconnect the devices, which I can't to either, this is other solution:
f you are getting this error (and you have a SATA harddrive); this is the fix: At the LiveCD initial boot screen: o Select F6 for more options o Add the following option to the beginning of the options list: break=top o Press enter to start booting Ubuntu will start booting, but kick you out to a command prompt; at the prompt type these two commands: modprobe piix exit You will now boot into the LiveCD normally. If you choose to install from the LiveCD, you must make the following modifications (or else your installed system will not be able to boot, just like the LiveCD): o Make note of the device id of the partitions that were used to install (such as /dev/hda1) -- if you choose to install the '/boot' mount from a different partition make note of it as well (this would be done from the manual partition selection); just a side note -- if you do this, make sure the boot partition is at least 50MB or the install will error at grub setup o When the install is complete do not reboot -- stay in the LiveCD o Open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) o You must now mount the installed partitions by typing the following (assuming the install was to /dev/hda1; otherwise replace '/dev/hda1' with the install partition) commands: mkdir target sudo mount /dev/hda1 target *if you also created a boot partition issue (replace /dev/hda2 with the boot partition) the command: sudo mount /dev/hda2 target/boot sudo chroot target o You will now be in a 'chroot' command prompt for your new ubuntu system (be careful here, you are editing with root access!) o You must edit the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file; adding a line with the word: piix -- you should do this with your favorite unix editor; or simply type the command: echo piix >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules o After modifying the file you must update the system with the command update-initramfs -u o When complete, type 'exit' to exit the chroot env; you can now close the Terminal and reset your system. Now when you boot you will be in your new shinny Ubuntu system! This solution is completely beyond my - GNU/LINUX - knowledge, can't perform this. So... what can I do? I just want to get Feisty installed on the laptop, but I can't figure it out how to, yet.
