http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi! I have a working Ubuntu 10.04 version installed on my laptop and am trying to upgrade to 12.04 using a fresh install. I have burned the general 386, 32 bit iso on to an USB stick using the Universal-USB-installer (as mentioned in the official documentation). I can boot from the live-usb and it seems to work fine. So, I try to install. I choose the default partioning (entire disk) and click on "Install Now". But the installer hangs while "configuring the hardware". Pressing any key at this stage drops me to a black screen, with the following message printed - d (Hardware)

Hi,

I'm having problems installing Ubuntu 11.10 server on a new HP proliant microserver. I'm trying install from one bootable USB stick (created using the USB installer from pendrivelinux.com) to another USB stick (2GB). I get as far as the "Select and install software" stage and at about 85% complete I get an "installation step failed" error.

The last version of ubuntu I can install is 10.10.

I've tried installing 12.04 (x32/x64) from usb stick and 12.10 (x32/x64) from DVD (they don't fit in a 700MiB CD).

After i choose on what partition I want to install and click next the screen goes black and i get "Assuming write drive write through".

The DVD stops spinning, everything is stuck.

I'm using MSI EX620 notebook.
