Feisty Fawn installation issues fixed!

Colin Watson just released a new, customized Feisty Fawn CD image which should eliminate the installation bugs and issues that has been reported on this site. Specifically, it applies some patches that makes the partitioner avoid the incorrect (”newworld”) warning messages, stop some non-essential processes (that made the installer halt at 15%) and fix the kboot.conf device naming problems.

Direct download link (desktop CD).

    Yeah, it hung at 15% for me too. I even did a manual partition setup and burned it real slow…

    This is just only Ubuntu, right?
    Not Kubuntu or Xubuntu.

    Right.. only the standard Ubuntu with GDE. But you can of course always install another desktop manager on top of that one
    (sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop).

    Wi-Fi is a big question, hope they fix that and the the screen resolution for normal Tvs

    So I’m assuming wi-fi was not added into the kernel for this Fiesty custom PS3 release?

    Yeah, it didn’t work for me, still froze, is there anything I need to do besides putting it in and installing? Like typing anything at kboot or whatever?

    My pal ps3 stop the install at 15%, i’ve tried to install ubunto from 6-18-2007, so i’ve only the working (??) iso. I’vve tried also the alternate iso, but it does not work either…

    Please provide an md5sum for the iso. The md5sum check for filesystem.squashfs failed based on md5sum.txt on the CD. Do I have a corrupted download or the creator forgot to update the md5sum.txt file?

    stopped at 15% after disabling stuff.. its such a shame because I was tempted with this over Yellow Dog etc.. but I guess there is no fix so I have no choice but to delete it!!

    SweSoulC, did you ever figure out the hang at 78%? I’ve had this with a couple of different discs now.

    mine got stuck at 15% when installing in swedish.. im now trying it in english…

    could there be some subtle differences between PS3s from the different regions that are a factor in the 15% half problem?

    My mate has a PAL model (Australia) and this would no doubt be the same for UK/NZ/EURO markets. Those that it HAS worked - are you all using NTSC models?
