Thinkpad T30 2366 hangs when installing Ubuntu 8.04(Hardy Heron)

[Jaso]

Im trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron on my Thinkpad T30 2366.

The installation procedure starts as usual. Everything runs smoothly until i get to the part with the partitioning.

I choose Guided, and i get to the next step, where i fill in username and password. And then i click next.

Partitioning starts and it reachs to about 15% then my laptop hangs.

Now here is something i would suspect to be a problem. I was supposed to have 768mb ram, when i got my laptop delivered, it only got 256mb ram.

I am getting the missing 512mb delivered today.

Any other ideas what could cause this?

Best Regards

hello!

did you try the live cd 1st may be there's a fault in the cd's checksum

also check out if your getting any "kernel panic "errors

The problem is solved.

I chose VGA mode during installation and it went fine.

And the worst part is, i installed it during the busride to work.

I heard the word: "nerd" on the bus

Thank you for your effort samavedam_vijay!
