I am having problems installing 8.10. I have experience with gentoo/suse/other linux. When the installer progresses to formatting the hard drive the installation freezes.
I go through steps 1-7 at step 6 I choose "guided, use entire hard drive" (have also tried the manual partitioning)
The installation starts and moves to "partitions formatting" and stops with the installation 5% complete.
I have:
- 80 gig drive
- pentium 4 3.0GHz
- Asus p4p800-vm mother board
- 2.5 gig memory
I have tried also 8.04, 8.10 alternative, 8.10 server and have the same problem. This box was running the current version of gentoo before trying to install ubuntu so I know the box works.
Any help would be appreciated.
