My problem is very similar to the one described here.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 64bits from a LiveUSB drive. Before anything I checked the md5sum for the ISO file, which was fine. I also checked the USB for errors and no error were detected.

(NB: I am trying to install this as a dual boot with Windows 8, install in EFI)

I had problems with the display, so from Grub I used the options 'nomodeset' and 'xforcevesa' which brings me to the install GUI.

I start the install and set up all the relevant partitions and the install starts correctly and then stops at this step:

ubuntu ubiquity: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-17-generic

Here are the specs of my machine:

  • Acer Revo L80
  • CPU: Intel Core i3-2377M @ 1.50 Ghz
  • Ram: 8Gb
  • Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000

I strongly suspect the problem comes from the integrated graphics card not being recognised, but not sure what to do about it...

Thanks in advance for any suggestion or fix!

Had to make a bit of research about this issue, as expected it is a hardware issue. The machine I was trying to install on is an Acer Revo L80, installing Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 on it is simply not possible, not sure why...

The temporary solution was to install Ubuntu 11.10 instead, not ideal but it works.
