Sigh (or in Bavarian actually, fittingly "mei" ;-)), this same bug since 12.04 seems back with the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, stopping the installer (which loops slides infinitely without message nor progress) after it has mounted the /-to-be below /tmp to copy from USB.

How (and if, precisely when?) could one easily blacklist mei (and mei_me, if need be) when booting a LiveCD? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176577 Title: [HP Compaq dc7700 Small Form Factor PC] mei unexpected reset in kernel 3.8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1176577/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
