Install On A IBM ThinkPad T410 - FREEZES

Asked by Shaun Smith

Hi guys.. Here is my issue:

I am currently trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on my new IBM Thinkpad T410 for the first time. I choose the option to install the software and erase all previous programs that were on it before. Everything seems to be working good until it is copying files during the install then it freezes 3/4 of the way through and the progress bar says 'ready when you are....' and when you click the arrow next to the progess bar, I get the following message:

Nov 1 11:01:41 ubuntu kernal: [ 1202.579987] intel ips 0000:00:lf.6: MCP power or thermal limit exceeded

This is happening at the install page that says "Who Are You?" where you enter your name, username, password, ect.

Any help on this problem would be much appreciated, I have tried re-downloading it twice and mounting it on different CD and DVD's and I keep getting this same error.

Thanks!!!

Did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
Did you burn the CD as slowly as possible?
Did you check the CD for defects?

yes

Is there something not set right on my lap top in the bios?

Its strange that I get the error in the same spot every time I try to install it.

thanks.

No I did not...

I am still new to this. What is the best way to do that?

Thanks for the patience.

Please boot entirely (you must not see windows starting) from Ubuntu live install cd and when the system start to boot from cd you will see two bottom screen icons ( keyboard and man inside circle ) please press space (choose your desired language) then a screen textual center menu will appear to you with this items in it:

Try Ubuntu without installing
Install Ubuntu
Check disc for defects
Test memory
Boot from first hard disk

Please select "Test Memory" to deeply test your ram healty, if your pc freeze at installation or installation doesn't start.

Please select "Check disc for defects" and press enter to test if your cd-driver can read in a good way the live install cd... or if the install cd have some defective files in it.

Then please also perform a Test memory to be sure your pc RAM memory have not any issue
