Hi all
I have a Proliant Microserver and am attempting to install Ubuntu Server 10.10 on it. The server has no optical drives so I am using a USB stick.
I am using the ISO from here;
http://www.ubuntu.com/business/get-ubuntu/download (64bit) and have verified the download with the MD5 checksum.
and I am using the instructions on that page to create the installer (from Windows 7)
Which involves using
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
I have created the installer on multiple different media types, and also tried creating it on another machine. The creation goes fine, the problems arise when I try and install on the server.
It boots fine, begins going through the process of install and then gets to a point where it is Loading Installer Components from the CD.
It does around 30% of them and then throws an error saying it cannot read a file, and to try again - if it keeps failing then test the integrity of the CD.
There is no CD though.. and despite re-creating the installer on different media and different machines.. it crashes out at the same point each time,.
I have tried backing up and letting it test the integrity of the 'CD' but as it isn't a CD.. it gets confused and asks for a driver so it can access it properly.. which I don't know what to enter there..
Halp!
