Thank you for your investigation and message, sent whilst I managed to install LinuxMint-8RC1. I found that by applying x57 Updates in a LiveCD session, it then allowed installation to complete, albeit reproducing the Ubuntu 9.10 Ext4/'GRUB2' problem of failing to correctly set up access to this, online copy of Windows XP, but I will now re-check the integrity of the original download ISO, as effectively suggested.
(Applying a trick learned from Ubuntu 9.10, I have used a Karmic kernel version of Clonezilla to 'snapshot' what I had achieved, before re-installing 64-bit Mint-7 and then restoring an earlier created SelfImage of Mint-7.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "WeatherGod" <ben.v.r...@gmail.com> To: <bm007a0...@blueyonder.co.uk> Sent: Friday, November 13, 2009 5:32 PM Subject: [Bug 481852] Re: Mint-8RC1 Installer crashed Bruce, after taking a look at your log messages, we think you might have a bad burn of the ISO. -- Mint-8RC1 Installer crashed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481852 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Mint-8RC1 Installer crashed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481852 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
