Hi no progress with rev377. When I check syslog dmp there some errors. Could Vista be the reason of freezing?

Did you happen to save the full log file? That bit alone would not cause the installer to fail.

Thanks!

Hi,
I realized that I had luck which probably won't repeat again soon.
I thought that MIGRATION section was the issue so I commented it out. Ubuntu installed succesfully. I also had to correct the root param in menu.lst. But Ubuntu didn't start. So I decided to reinstall it. But this time ubiquity hang again at 40% (actually this percentage is different for every attempt). So I don't think it is migration issue anymore.

And that was full syslog which I posted. I gave up trying wubi, I'll rather use Lubi/Bubackup this time.
