SOLVED: it was a problem in the ram memory module. I recommend the ultibateboot cd for tests
This is a known problem but i couldn't fix with what I've found on web.
Task and error:
Install ubuntu 11.10 on an empty HDD.
I get a Errno5(input/output error) always on the same stage (around 30%). The systemn suggestion is about burning the CD in low speed(but in this case is a flash drive) and checking the HDD for errors.
A single time, instead of the error above, I got a 'the following file didn't match its source copy on the cd/dvd - target/usr/lib/cups/filler/hpcups" then another one ofr another file, the finally errno5
Method:
startable flash drive created with usb-creator-gtk
Inventory:
asus p8h61-mx
i3 2100
A single 4gb memory module
ubuntu 11.10 desktop amd64
500 GB HDD with no OS installed.
Tests made:
HDD self-test: No errors
check disk option from flash boot: No errors
startable flash drive checksum: No erros
Try with another physical flash drive: No effect
Using ubiquity --no-migration-assistant (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1910258) method: No effect
Tests not made:
memtest86 - No tools yet.
fsck -cc - It would last about 10h and I don't know if it has advantages over HDD self test.
Removing a Ram module - I got only one.
Burning the CD slower - checksum was fine and I was able to install with the same flash drive eralier(see history)
History:
The desktop is new and it had windows 7 ultimate installed. I was able to install ubuntu 11.10 along with it correctly, but the bootloader selection was leavning me on a grub prompt, like 'grub>', and I had to run commants like "root (hda,b) kernel /vmlinus ... boot" to boot everytime.
I tried many things and couldn't fix it, but at least it was still working. Then I followed this guys instructions http://askubuntu.com/questions/108375/skip-grub-prompt-in-dual-boot-win7-ubuntu-11-10 and my system stopped booting at all.
So I decided to format and reinstall everything, but this time starting with ubuntu.
Wishes
To know if fsck -cc can find errors that hdd self test can't
To know how likely it is to be a hardware defect
More tests and actions to try and post the result
An indication of another user friendly distro where this bug doesn't occur
Thanks in advance
