dpkg error processing linux-server

[Visko]

Hey
I'm trying to get Ubuntu on my PC, but it always halts at the "install base components" part, somewhere around 84%.

In the other terminal (alt+f4) I see the following error message:

dpkg: error processing linux-server (--configure)
Errors were encountered:
linux-image_2.6.24-19-server
linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server
linux-image-server
linux-server

E: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg return error code 1

I thought that my cd got corrupt during burning, so I burned the iso to another cd, and I still get the same error, at the same time.

What should I try?
My PC is an amd2600xp, with 2x750GB storage, and I'm trying the to install the latest server version. (ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386.iso)

Error in post.

Should I enter this before I select "install base components" from the menu?

[Pumalite]

I misunderstood.
Burn a new CD. Do md5sum on iso, burn at 4x or less, check CD integrity before install. Do not use CD-RW. Clean the lens in your burner just in case. If you can; post:
sudo fdisk -lu

[Visko]

Will try in a moment, thank you.

[Visko]

Exact same error message, exact same time.
I have checked the md5 sum, and verified the contents of the cd, both correct.

[Pumalite]

What are your specs. Try to find out where the installation gets stuck.

[Visko]

It's an amd2600xp, on an asus P5VD2-VM/S motherboard, with 2 Western Digital hard drives.
The dvd-drive is a NEC 2650a, the VGA and LAN are integrated.

How should I start looking for the part where it fails?

[Visko]

Please help me :(

[Visko]

Bump

[Pumalite]

I supposed you are able to boot a Live CD.
Post:
sudo fdisk -lu

Bump :(

I have tried installing from an usb drive, as described in this page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuServerFlashDriveInstaller

and it failed again at the linux-server image file.
It's definitely not a bad media.

What amount of RAM does it have?

[Visko]

It has a single stick of 1GB DDR ram. (Apacer)

[Visko]

YES!!!

I have tried installing without using raid, and it installed fine.
Now I just have to manually create the arrays somehow.
