Installing the Karmic Beta- Tried to install 4 times on the Dell GX-270 that I have used previously and got failures (screen lock up) anywhere from reading the release notes to 82% installed. So I tried on a GX-280 and voila! success. This was on the same hard drive that was used during the failures. The only component I hadn't changed was the DVD drive so I changed that and tried again with no success on the GX-270. Just as a confirmation I installed 8.04.3 (I have previously install 8.04.1 & .2 as well as 8.04 Server on this computer) successfully, so the problem is definitely the install program not liking the GX-270. The only real difference in the 2 computers that I haven't been able to swap between them is the on- board video. They are both Intel but a slightly different model. The DX-270 has an Intel 82865G and the DX-280 has an Intel 82915G. Dell supplies different windoze video drivers but I'm not sure what the differences are.
