Cannot Install Feisty From CD-ROM

maybe.... check your bios settings for pci devices... otherwise, ubuntu may be having trouble with a pci device. A graphics card maybe?

Why would that hang an install though?

Wouldn't X simply throw errors?

I am going to try and FLASH the BIOS to a newer version, but I doubt that is going to work. Darn it :-\ ...

What version of Ubuntu are you booting?

Can you unplug any USB devices if attached.

Can you try booting with the extra parameter below:-

noapic

Then if that fails:-

noacpi

Finally try both.

(add these on in the same way you boot in non-quiet mode)

This is with the latest version of Feisty Fawn...

No USB devices are connected.

None of those options work... the CD just spins down and the system sits and sits and sits.

This is so weird, I mean, it should throw an error or something not just hang :-/

Have you tried an older CD that worked or is this the first time you have tried. Just trying to figure out if this is something that is newly broken in feisty, or was always broken.

Unfortunately, I have no idea if this works on older versions of Ubuntu...

Try nolapic as per the attached bug report.

I have the same problem with Asus M2400N notebook: start from CD (7.04) hangs at "Setting up standard PCI resources".
There _is_ a workaround using "nolapic" parameter at boot prompt, at least for me, but after installation I see the same "Setting up..." message and neither of mentioned here methods (noapic, noacpi, nolapic, acpi=off) works.
Somewhere in bugtrack I have seen, that this is a known problem with Asus notebooks, and it's solved with newer kernel version; however, that new version should be installed manually (yet).

By now I am sitting at previous version (6.10), which works fine, and ignoring "New version available" prompt from Update Manager...
