Public bug reported: On a HP ML 350 G5 it is not possible to install Dapper 6.06.1 in a normal way.
As soon as you reach Configuration Step where you configure your keyboard the screen just turns blue and nothing happens anymore. A switch to the console shows that the process kbdmode is in state D, if you run ps aux. However it is possible to install Ubuntu 6.06.1 in eypertmode, and do all the configuration stuff when the installation is done after the installation Ubuntu runs stable. The problem in expert mode is, that it horribly detects any hardware component wrong, so it suggest the module "floppy" for the network card and all other hardware, despite the fact that the kernel *has* the correct Module which is "bnx2" after manually adding it after the installation the network card works without problems Bios Version on Installation was 09/2006 I used the ubuntu Server Image and also tried the Ubuntu Server AMD64 Image both with the same results ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- 6.06.1 Install fails on HP ML 350G5 with kbdmode hanging https://launchpad.net/bugs/96733 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
