| sm | froud: try #ubuntu | 06:51 |
| froud | sm, it's hopeless asking there | 06:51 |
| froud | stupid thing is I can install other distros on that box without problem | 06:52 |
| sm | if it were me, I'd try the array 3 cd announced on ubuntu-dev list | 06:53 |
| sm | (hoary) | 06:53 |
| froud | I need the current ubuntu box for something else and cant install the new machine with ubuntu | 06:53 |
| abelli | froud: what's the problem | 06:53 |
| sivang | froud: install warty and dist-upgrade, the best way I think | 06:54 |
| froud | abelli, install of base cant complete | 06:54 |
| abelli | sivang: what base? | 06:54 |
| abelli | i mean which hoary? | 06:54 |
| froud | i'm using warty install cd | 06:55 |
| sivang | froud: latest? | 06:55 |
| abelli | ahh... does it stops at 67, or 34? | 06:55 |
| abelli | :) | 06:55 |
| sivang | froud: there are patched ones, fixed ,that wen after the relase. | 06:55 |
| abelli | s/s// | 06:55 |
| froud | the most recent sent to me by mako via shipit | 06:56 |
| froud | but why can other distros install | 06:56 |
| abelli | can you alt-f3? and tell what you see? | 06:56 |
| froud | yes I can but now running hardware diagnostics on machine | 06:56 |
| froud | the message to do with dependancies | 06:57 |
| froud | its crazy | 06:57 |
| abelli | what? | 06:57 |
| froud | I even changed vid adapter and nic just in case | 06:57 |
| abelli | are you doing the standard install? | 06:58 |
| froud | also screams because I dont have a floppy disk drive on that machine | 06:58 |
| sivang | froud: what seems to be the problem? | 06:58 |
| froud | yes | 06:58 |
| froud | and run it with linux acpi=off | 06:58 |
| froud | sivang, dont have the exact message at momemnt just doing HW diag on machine | 06:59 |
| froud | but essentially install does not get p[ast the base system | 06:59 |
| froud | fails arround 40% | 06:59 |
| sivang | I think you have a prerelease cd or something, | 07:00 |
| sivang | I recall this problem prerelease but it got fixed. | 07:00 |
| sivang | try to download a new one from the archive. | 07:00 |
| froud | I break mako's neck if that is the case :-) | 07:00 |
| abelli | you should read alt-f3's shouts, or alt-f2 then "enter" and "tail /var/log/syslog" | 07:01 |
| froud | abelli, yes, when I have finished hw diag and try install again | 07:01 |
| abelli | froud: well use hoary then... | 07:01 |
| froud | maybe there is something wrong with on eof the memory banks or something | 07:01 |
| abelli | froud: ?! | 07:02 |
| froud | Hmm ther emust be a local mirror in co.za | 07:02 |
| froud | abelli, dont mind me I will work it out | 07:03 |
| sivang | froud: mako has nothing to do with it :) | 07:03 |
| froud | anyone know of a haory mirror image in co.za | 07:04 |
| sivang | for downloaidng ISO? | 07:04 |
| sivang | don't go there, hoary installer is pretty buggy at the moment, wouldn't recommend it for installing. | 07:04 |
| froud | got it ftp://ftp.is.co.za/linux/distributions/ubuntu/cdimage/releases/hoary/array-3/ | 07:04 |
| froud | really | 07:05 |

| sivang | abelli: dependes how good you can read the debug messages :) | 07:05 |
| sivang | on ALT+F2/F3 | 07:05 |
