Bug#396469: Installation report: failed install on Toshiba Satellite



Here's the entire screen:

 Segmentation fault

I just typed the first and last few numbers of thd Stack and Call Trace.  There are more hex numbers where the ellipses are.

I'm not set up to boot over a null modem.  Is there any way I can do an interactive boot and step through each piece as it's loading?

OK. But still, the installer worked without problem, so we should be able
to solve this.

Please give us any information that you _can_ see on the screen. I know
that copying that manually is a pain, but without the info we cannot
help!

Another option, if the laptop has a serial port, you have another box to
connect it to and a null-modem cable, is to boot over serial console.
That should give you the full log of boot messages.

Cheers,
FJP
