well, i've done net install. this time it was okay. deleted all partitions, made new ones. the only thing i'd changed: used another mirror site (ireland) this time! install went through successfully.
for me it sounds as if there was an inconsistent mirror. may also have been problems with /boot partition. if you're doing a fresh install, try this. -- Unable to install initramfs-tools in Dapper 64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
